AI PRODUCT & TRANSFORMATION LEADER

ashwinrajan.com

Founder-mode product leader with a psychology edge. Product management and growth core, with AI-led engineering skills to build and ship full-stack products. Progressed from large-scale enterprise and public-sector product/service transformation into hands-on product development in early-stage and startup environments — working with global brands, governments, and growth teams across multiple markets. Led teams through high-growth phases (including 100%+ YoY trajectories), shipped experiment loops, and built AI product capabilities. Thrive in ambiguity and complexity — turning unstructured problems into measurable product strategy, design, and execution.
