I’m a builder. That instinct showed up early, from building my first PC as a teenager to building growth engines and go-to-market plans across gaming, AI, and consumer products.

I started as an engineer, then earned my MBA to move into roles where I could connect strategy to real commercial outcomes. My biggest chapter was at PlayStation. I led growth initiatives and global launches that touched millions of players, helped shape a $5B portfolio, and drove $1B+ in net new revenue opportunities. I supported go-to-market for hardware like the DualSense Edge and PlayStation Portal, both of which exceeded sell-through projections by 20%+. I also partnered with internal studios to unlock $300M in additional monetization across flagship titles. Alongside that work, I’ve helped early-stage teams with positioning, pricing, and commercialization, including a sustainability venture that secured $250K and a food brand that landed in 250+ grocery stores through a revamped distribution and retail strategy. No matter the stage or sector, I come back to the same thing: make what’s possible real. Building isn’t about fancy frameworks. It’s about removing friction, picking the right levers, and getting teams moving in the same direction. If you’re building a brand or product and want someone who’s comfortable with ambiguity but stays grounded in numbers, let’s talk. Email: com Calendly: com/harinnair1
