I help SaaS and high-growth companies unlock exponential ARR growth by building partner ecosystems, affiliate programs, and GTM systems that scale.

Unlike most leaders who specialize in either sales or partnerships, I bring both:
	•	Closed 7-figure enterprise deals as an AE.
	•	Built partner programs adding $10M–$40M+ ARR.
	•	Designed affiliate systems activating thousands of high-performing partners.

My approach blends direct sales experience with a playbook for recruiting, activating, and scaling partner ecosystems that deliver measurable revenue impact.

Currently applying this GTM playbook inside Instantly.ai, where I’m documenting the journey in real time — frameworks, wins, and lessons that any GTM leader can adapt to scale faster.

What I do best:
	•	Design & scale high-impact partner programs.
	•	Build integrated GTM systems combining affiliates, agencies, integrations, and brand alliances.
	•	Turn real-world results into repeatable, monetizable frameworks.

I also work with select founders, execs, and investors through consulting, advisory, and JV opportunities — helping them structure partnerships that multiply revenue and create leverage.

📌 Core Competencies:
• Partnership & Affiliate Revenue Growth
• GTM Architecture & Execution
• Enterprise Sales & Negotiation
• Strategic Alliances & Integrations
• Business Process Optimization
• Leadership & Coaching High-Growth Teams

If you’re building a partner-sourced GTM function and want to scale faster, let’s connect.

Software engineer

After working almost 7 years as a Software Engineer in different roles, I was offered an opportunity to work as a Business analyst. The opportunity that I took. I always envied product roles and their contribution in Product Development. And it was my turn to be one.

For around 6 years, I have worked in different product roles, learning new things and product areas. I have failed, learnt and achieved in this period. There were challenges, but with right support, process and actions, I faced those head on.

Deciding to take that leap was not easy. Simply because I was leaving behind my technical experience and embracing a new one. With time I have realised, that is just a mindset. With proper research and process, you can take "The Product Leap" with confidence.

With my experience of moving into product role, I am here to share those experiences and help the professionals who are at that stage now.

Follow me to know about my experiences and how that can help you in similar times.

I write a weekly Newsletter on my learnings and the actions I took, that helped me take that leap.
