GENERAL MANAGER
Resume:
Given the synergy of profiles I wish to take this opportunity to enclose a C.V. of mine for your kind perusal, action and revert. Allow me to introduce myself as a to-do young professional with capabilities and foresight to achieve new MILESTONES.
I have spent quality time in the Indian Sub-continent with TOP companies, acquiring a diverse set of all-round cross-functional experiences so very necessary for the profiled senior management position. I have contributed to brand development, in developing competitive strategies to increase market share, building relationships with significant others like CEOs, the press, retailers & the govt. Believe in ethics and try and put to good use the accruals of management education as often as I possibly can. The depth and diversity of client exposure levels of my jobs can only make me a classically trained MARKETEER & MANAGEMENT VISIONARY, capable of more superior delivery with time.
Creativity, innovation, an intuitive presence of mind & the ability to stay cool under pressure has always stood me in good stead giving me a label of an “OUT OF THE BOX THINKER”. While I have the never-ending urge to influence developments at the most senior levels of business and public life, I also have an entrepreneurial bent of mind, an appropriate business and managerial acumen to envision, delegate and negotiate. I am a progressive thinker with a “can do” attitude. Would like to focus on goal-setting primarily to achieve radical performance, quality, CORPORATE IMAGE and profit improvements.
Presently, I am with a home furnishing & hospitality major, working as their COO, based out of India. Prior to which I worked with a Tea major based out of India as HEAD-SALES & MARKETING, since May 2nd, 2005, after having had an enriching experience in the TATA group, managing the TATA brand. Prior to which 3 significant years (event & non event based) were gained while marketing a FMCG product (beer), supervising operations at the All India Level with SHAW WALLACE which also included legal formalities involved in thrashing out a contract (including surrogate) for win-win alliances (for acquiring new breweries) as well as providing relevant inputs to McKinsey for a project on re-engineering MARKETING PARADIGMS to set new benchmarks.
I believe strongly in an “hands on” approach. May I present my credentials to take your organization on a different flight, with conviction. You would agree that here is a profile that has come ‘full circle’ beginning with advertising, getting immersed in marketing warfare & settling down in general management. Wishing you the very best, personally and professionally,
