More

My focus is on product strategy, SDK development, and machine learning, driving the adoption of Sanas's real-time speech-to-speech platform with 29 enterprise customers in under five months. I lead a cross-functional team to build scalable go-to-market strategies for self-serve and enterprise adoption. My expertise lies in translating complex AI/ML technologies into intuitive developer products that address real-world communication challenges. Previously, I led AI product initiatives at Salesforce and AWS, focusing on AI/ML integration for private equity and telecommunications sectors. Passionate about voice AI infrastructure and developer experience, I work to create transformative solutions that bridge communication gaps on a global scale.
