Senior Customer Success Leader
Turning complex technology into lasting customer outcomes.
Engineering roots.
Leadership trajectory.
I'm a Senior Manager at Salesforce leading Customer Success — but my story didn't start there. It started with engineering, research, and a curiosity for how systems work. Over 15+ years I've moved across digital lending, product, and business roles, picking up a rare combination of rigorous technical thinking and strategic leadership along the way.
In 2025, I relocated from India to the Bay Area with my family — a deliberate bet on being at the center of what's next. I'm deeply invested in AI, Agentforce, and the future of how businesses actually serve their customers.

Published work
AGV Scheduling Using Differential Evolution Algorithms
Published research on optimizing Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) scheduling in manufacturing environments using Differential Evolution — a class of evolutionary algorithms. This work sits at the intersection of operations research, optimization, and systems design.
Before the dashboards and executive decks, there was a researcher figuring out how to make complex systems work more efficiently. That instinct never left.
