About Rathna Kumar Sambasivam

Driving Markets. Building Brands. Fueling Growth. Hi, I’m Rathna Kumar — a global sales, product marketing, and business development leader with 10+ years of experience accelerating growth across the automotive and consumer sectors. From capturing 18% market share in a greenfield launch with Daimler’s BharatBenz to increasing brand saliency by 23% through a football-led campaign in Tanzania for Bajaj Auto, I’ve consistently turned strategy into measurable impact. At Bajaj, I led marketing and GTM efforts across 18 countries in East and South Africa, delivering multi-million-dollar growth through regionalized campaigns and digital-first product launches that reached over 2 million customers. Earlier, as Regional Sales Manager in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, I grew market share from 39% to 55% in three years and drove 176% volume growth through fleet partnerships and network transformation. Having recently completed my Global Executive MBA with honors and class valedictorian from the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business, I bring both frontline execution and strategic depth to roles focused on market expansion, customer engagement, and go-to-market innovation. Let’s connect if you’re building the future of mobility, consumer experience, or tech-driven growth — and want a leader who brings passion, data, and results to the table.
