Who am I
From directing films to driving growth
I started my career studying Film Direction and Production in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I then went on to direct commercials in Mumbai, building instincts for storytelling, craft, and the emotional resonance that makes people stop and pay attention.
Twenty-five years later, those same instincts are what I bring to boardrooms, brand teams, and transformation mandates across North America and Asia. I am a rare executive who can inspire creatives, earn C-suite trust, and turn bold ideas into real business outcomes.
I have led growth, brand, and content programmes for Fortune 500 companies including McDonald's, Chevrolet, Canadian Tire, SC Johnson, and Molson Coors. I have worked and lived across Canada, India, and Singapore. Today I am a Senior Manager in Growth, Brand Experience and Transformation at Accenture Song in Toronto.
I am also a proud member of the Canadian Marketing Association Innovation Council — and a lifelong explorer. Superman is still the best superhero. No questions asked.

What I Believe
I believe the best work moves people, moves culture and moves the business.
I also believe the best leaders build around three things: great people, great products, and meaningful profit. In that order. Always.
01
People
Skill matters, but it is not the whole story. The people I chase are the ones who are invested, who show up for each other, and who bring a genuinely different way of seeing the world. Diverse backgrounds, diverse instincts. Not a collection of individual contributors optimizing for their own scorecard, but a team that is actually in it together. That combination does not just make better work. It makes work worth doing.
02
Product
People who think differently and want to push boundaries are the ones who shape what a product becomes. You can start with an idea and a direction, but it is the team that influences the outcome. That is where the real work happens.
Not one or two of those three. All three, simultaneously. That conviction has shaped every role I have held and every team I have built.
01
Move People
Emotion drives action. If the work does not land in the gut first, no data strategy will save it. I lead with empathy and craft.
02
Move Culture
The brands that endure are the ones that contribute something meaningful to the cultural conversation. I help brands find that place.
03
Move the Business
Creativity without commercial accountability is just art. I build systems, teams, and strategies that turn creative ambition into measurable growth.
02
Profit
Great products with genuine cultural resonance do not need to be sold hard. They create their own momentum. Word of mouth. Awareness that travels beyond traditional channels. Revenue follows when the product is truly right for the moment.
