Executive Overview

My role as CEO is to lead the company making software that's easy and accessible to businesses everywhere. I've always been involved in growth companies that have challenged the status quo and delivered amazing experiences for their customers. Google, Dropbox, Impossible Foods and now Freshworks. In my spare time I bike, run and swim. I live with my wife in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our kids are "adulting", sort of.
