Operating Lead, Propel

Responsible for driving GTM/Organic Growth and M&A Integration workstreams across the Unity portfolio as part of the Propel Team

Most recently, CGO & COO of Terryberry, a PE-backed SaaS company where I helped architect and lead a SaaS-led growth transformation of a 100-year old HR services company. Prior to that, I was an Operating Advisor at Tenex Capital, where I partnered with portfolio company leadership to identify and drive value creation initiatives. Prior background in strategy consulting at Boston Consulting Group and operating roles at Honeywell, DuPont and Intel

MBA, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, MS at Georgia Institute of Technology and BS at Indian Institute of Technology

Where I spent my childhood

Born in India, I came to the US in 2000 for my graduate education. Since then, I have lived in 8 states across the US, and now call Princeton Junction, NJ my home

Family matters

My wife and I have two kids, daughter and son, who keep us very busy with an endless rotation of sports practices, piano recitals, chorus performances, and ambitious but never completed science projects. We’re fortunate to have extended family spread between the US and India, so we’re either hosting big family gatherings here or planning trips back home.

First job ever

Process engineer on Intel’s assembly line in Chandler, AZ – the backend packaging and testing side where silicon dies become actual chips. Learned that when you’re producing millions of processors, even a tiny failure rate becomes a very expensive problem to solve

Most likely to spend a spare hour

Family time: board games (where I lose consistently), solving puzzles, or sneaking out for ice cream runs

Fun fact about me

I spent two years living in a camp in a remote oasis village in the Sahara desert (on the borders of Libya and Chad). Think 120°F heat, date palms, and sand dunes stretching to horizons where the only sound is wind

My favorite book

Any of Amitav Ghosh or Salman Rushdie novels, love their ability to weave history, migration and epic narratives (Ghosh’s Ibis Trilogy was awesome!)
