About the Team
- I joined Nutanix in 2016 as part of the Product Management team. I have been very fortunate to participate in many firsts for the company during my entire tenure at Nutanix and it continues to be so even now. Before Nutanix, I had experience in a similar role at another large sized vendor in the data center space. I live with my wife and our seven year old daughter. In my time outside of work, I travel, play with my daughter, and spend time with my family.
- I believe that most people can deliver extraordinary results if they have the grit to do so and if they are in a supportive environment. The leadership team at Nutanix focuses on providing that supporting environment and we hope you bring the grit.
- “Each day brings new challenges that fuel my passion for growth and innovation, as it provides a perfect blend of learning opportunities, collaborative teamwork, intellectually stimulating projects, and a fun-filled work environment"
- “I get to work on various strategic projects, collaborate with teams across the organization at various levels. The organization is filled with highly intellectual and committed peers both within and outside the team. Working with them helps bring out the best in me.”
- “I have been entrusted with opportunities and responsibilities that have fueled my career and accelerated my growth. The pricing team is at the intersection of cross functional business problems.”
