It’s a fascinating journey, starting with Monster.com in its early stages. Being the 8th employee in the pilot batch is truly remarkable! With 16 years of experience in the IT and Edtech sectors. Achieving 10x growth in your last two study abroad startup assignments speaks volumes about my capabilities. My focus on B2C and D2C GTM strategies for global market launches is particularly impressive.
