I lead the overall business growth, operations, and stakeholder engagement across all academies in my city. My focus is on ensuring smooth renewals and collections, timely revenue realization, and maintaining strong partnerships with existing stakeholders while also identifying new venues, partnerships, and income streams. I drive business development by exploring new opportunities and conducting market research to stay ahead of competition, while ensuring financial accuracy through reconciliation, budgeting, and oversight of all collections. Beyond business expansion, I take complete ownership of operational excellence, including coach utilization, training quality, and effective capacity management at every center. I manage projects end-to-end, from planning and budgeting to execution and reporting, while also overseeing procurement of kits, equipment, and resources within approved budgets. I maintain healthy relationships with external partners such as referees, physios, and vendors, ensuring timely payouts and smooth functioning. I also manage recruitment, performance reviews, staff leave, and administrative requirements, building a motivated and effective team. Regular reporting, MIS reviews, and weekly health checks of each center help me ensure continuous improvement, operational discipline, and high-quality delivery across all venues.
