ABOUT AKHIL VARMA

I started my career in the exciting world of tech startups by managing key accounts for Snapdeal, a unicorn e-commerce company. Here, I successfully ran a pilot program that helped create a new effective approach for the Account Management team. I got promoted and managed relationships with international accounts that contributed 6-figure revenues.Later as an Account Executive at OYO, another unicorn in the hospitality space, I signed OYO\'s first flagship deal in the city. I also developed a new product category for OYO which boosted the region\'s sales by 30%.After 2 wonderful stints at unicorn start-ups, I set out to explore the world of \"corporate\" MNCs as an Account Manager for Michael Page. My relationship with tech startups continued as I managed relationships with startup cofounders, CTOs and HR Heads. I generated over 60% of the team\'s revenue and later got promoted to lead a team of 2 exceptional Account Manager who went on to become top performers.In the middle of the pandemic, I decided to move to Toronto and joined Adecco to help tech startups in Canada build a strong technology team and also grow Adecco\'s reach within the startup space.To sum it all up, I enjoy generating revenue for my employers by working with clients as partners, managing their relationships, and consulting them on how they can leverage our product/service to gain a competitive advantage in their respective industries.
