I am a seasoned strategist with a proven track record in developing corporate-driven strategies that deliver positive impact on business outcomes. With a passion for problem-solving and an ability to effectively organize, prioritize, and execute projects, I have consistently achieved successful outcomes throughout my career.

Currently, I serve as an Assistant Manager - Strategy, where I lead a team of three employees in Indonesia and indirectly support the management of a team of twenty employees in national sales. With extensive experience in people management, I am adept at bringing teams together to achieve collective objectives and meet sales targets. My expertise spans sales strategy, corporate planning, financial strategy, partnership strategy, and operational strategy.

Previously, I worked as a Business Strategist in a multi-departmental organization, where I had the opportunity to shape the entire organization according to the changing needs of management and business dynamics. I played a key role in fundraising, valuation, corporate strategy, and redesigning the corporate MIS.

As a member of the founding team for a regional airline launch in India's North East, I was instrumental in the overall planning of the corporate strategy, revenue sources, and risk mitigation strategies. To raise funds, I also planned a role for financial valuation.

My extensive experience includes corporate strategy, planning, product strategy, project management, pricing strategies, solution strategies, financial valuation, financial planning, market positioning, MIS development, and delivering end-to-end communication strategies and initiatives that align with business objectives.

My personal and professional experiences have taught me the importance of efficient individual task completion and ensuring all team members contribute equally to achieve common company/project goals. I have a track record of scaling up projects or tasks to ensure objectives are met and a continuous learning mindset that is essential for thriving in today's dynamic business environment. I focus on making stable and informed decisions for optimal results.
