01 — About

An operator's taste for building durable businesses.

I've spent my career at the seam between strategy and execution — translating ambition into pipelines, plans, and P&Ls that hold up under pressure.

At Verbex.ai, I lead the commercial function for a voice-AI platform: shaping the GTM narrative, closing early enterprise partnerships, and building the operating cadence a young company needs to scale.

Before that, as Strategy & Planning Manager at Transcom Foods, I helped steer KFC and Pizza Hut Bangladesh through market shifts — grounding every move in unit economics, consumer insight, and long-range planning.

Trained at Brown University, sharpened at PwC and Rip Van in New York.

02 — Experience

A record built brick by brick.

From consulting rooms in Dhaka to a Brooklyn CPG floor to leading commercial at an AI startup.
