The short version

I'm a business development and client leadership professional. I like the whole cycle: finding the right people, starting the conversation, closing the deal, and then making sure the client is still happy two years later.

I spent seven years as Head of Sales, Marketing and Client Servicing at The Visual House, an integrated creative agency in Delhi. When I joined, there was no sales function. When I left, there was one, and a client base that stretched from FMCG brands to UN agencies.

I trained as a mechanical engineer, which mostly means I like knowing how things work, including pipelines.
