With 8+ years in sales overall, I now partner with CXOs across GCCs, Real Estate, AI startups, Unicorn, Manufacturing, IT, and high-growth sectors to help them find, hire, and grow talent on LinkedIn—driving measurable outcomes in employer branding, hiring acceleration, and learning adoption.I’ve grown at LinkedIn from Sales Development Representative to Senior SDR, to Account Executive and now Senior Account Executive—all in just 4 years. Along the way, I’ve been recognised with the Iconic Award nomination in 2022 (Top SD – Outbound) and the Iconic Award win in 2024 (Best Whitespace Deal), achievements that reflect both performance and impact.Highlights of my impact include:• AI Productivity for Sales Initiative: Partnered with LinkedIn’s Infra Team to create a prompt hub that saves sales teams 3+ hours per week on research and prioritization.• CXO roundtables & Recruit-a-thons: Hosted high-impact events that built pipeline, accelerated closures, and positioned LinkedIn as a strategic partner in workforce transformation.• Tier-2 market expansion: Extended LinkedIn’s reach into cities unlocking whitespace opportunities and new revenue streams.• DIBs leadership: Actively contributed to APAC-wide ERG sessions, championing inclusivity, belonging, and regional collaboration.I began my career in finance, building a strong analytical foundation, before transitioning into digital strategy and HR tech—where I combine data, creativity, and consultative selling to deliver results at scale.Let’s connect if you’re looking to build innovative talent strategies, open new markets, or collaborate on solutions that drive measurable growth.
