About Anirudha Vaidya

Great products are born out of curiosity, refined through knowledge, and sustained through “connection”. Connection with the makers, the breakers, and most importantly - the takers!My early background is in product design, materials, computational analysis and industrial automation. I am passionate about developing products that customers love. But “product” is just one of the pillars that hold up a successful business. I believe great businesses are built on great products, but the latter does not guarantee the former. Through my different roles, I have gained familiarity with technical, operational, legal, commercial and strategic aspects of running a business. I have a strong technical background and enjoy learning about new technologies and industries. I am a problem solver that thrives in collaborative environments, and seeks diverse perspectives through broad engagement. I have experience managing international teams and leading complex cross-functional initiatives in a young, growth focused, public company.Relevant skills: product development, product launches, long term product roadmaps, product life-cycle management, product line strategy, product platforms and portfolio management, product positioning, pricing, profitability management, value proposition, strategic marketing, forecasting, strategic planning, VOC, channel strategy, business cases, stakeholder management. project management, cross-functional leadership, written and verbal communication, excel, powerpoint, stage-gate, agile, problem solving.
