I specialize in leadership development, business growth strategies, and marketing innovation, equipping leaders and organizations with the tools they need to thrive in competitive landscapes. My approach is collaborative, results-driven, and backed by years of hands-on experience leading teams, driving transformation, and building successful brands.

With a dynamic career spanning nearly 20 years across Canada, the US, France, and India, I have built a strong reputation in business strategy and marketing. My expertise allows me to be a powerful thought leader in this space.
As an Executive Coach and Consultant, I work closely with senior marketing executives to develop and implement comprehensive business growth and marketing strategies that drive brand success in competitive markets.
In my role as Managing Director at Veto Creative Agency, I design integrated marketing strategies for brands, awareness and advocacy campaigns for non-profits, and growth marketing campaigns for B2B companies. I also manage client relationships to ensure outstanding results.
Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about community engagement. As the Head of Marketing for TEDxToronto, I led the planning and execution of omnichannel marketing strategies, collaborating with a talented team of marketing and media professionals to create a successful event.
Earlier in my career, I held key roles at Zee Media Group and Network 18 Media Group in India, where I developed and executed innovative content and advertising campaigns that significantly boosted viewership and revenue.
My international experience is backed by strong academic credentials, including an MBA in Business Strategy from HEC Paris and a Master's in Journalism and Mass Communications from CCS University. I am also committed to continuous learning, holding certifications such as the PMI-ACP® (Agile Certified Practitioner) and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
