I am a marketing, communications and business professional with 20 years’ cross-cultural experience working with clients and agencies.
I have worked with international businesses operating across various global markets throughout my career, invariably based at their offices in India. This experience has given me the ability to understand the specific wants and needs of the local market and global leadership competencies and understanding.
Following an MBA at the London Business School, I spent more than ten years leading strategic marketing for the Italian motor vehicle manufacturer, Piaggio. This included time spent in Italy and working on product plans, extensions, development and market entry strategies in India, and export markets such as Nepal, Mexico, Bangladesh, Italy, China and co-ordination strategies with the local team in Vietnam which had its own local manufacturing. We launched several products and improved business revenue throughout this time thanks to the various initiatives that I conceptualised and executed.
Other roles have included working on brand communications at WPP Plc - multinational communications, advertising, public relations, technology, and commerce holding company in London. I have also worked with research and customer loyalty agencies in the UK to enhance their target market profile and generate business locally and international markets such as the US and Canada.
Whether you’re looking to grow market shares or enter new markets or grappling with declining revenues and demand saturation, I work with you to create and implement optimal strategies that maximise your revenue.
I start by identifying the route to growth that is most suited to your unique capability, competitive position, customer needs, and industry life cycle. This results in a differentiated value proposition that is the foundation for crafting the growth strategy and execution blueprint.
Creating a customer-centric strategy is one part of my job.
The second part is to ensure that the execution is in line with the strategy. I do this by formulating plans with inbuilt feedback loops and metrics and mobilising cross-functional teams to deliver integrated implementation.
Marketing is poised to play the role of an organisation-wide co-ordinator and influencer. This approach ensures that your execution stays on target, which in turn boosts demand and sales."
