2012

Engineer
First.

Anna University → Loyola Institute of Business Administration

Electronics and Communication Engineering at Anna University, then an MBA from LIBA. The technical training never left — it just started asking better questions about why campaigns worked and how to make them scale.

Campaigns.

Disney · Warner Bros. · Fox Studios

Regional content marketing for major studio releases — from The Martian to Avengers: Endgame. Coordinating across languages, platforms, and release windows for campaigns where the stakes were high and the timelines were fixed. You don't get a second opening weekend.

The Other
Side of Scale.

Coca-Cola Canada Bottling Limited

Revenue operations and account management inside one of the largest beverage companies in Canada. Enterprise scale is a different discipline — the org complexity, the cross-functional alignment, the pace of decision-making at that level. A different kind of education, and a useful one.
