Raghunath Koduvayur

Professional experience summary:

My strengths are in creating new products and businesses, Marketing campaign planning, execution, Digital native, and leading cross functional teams. To put it simply: I'm best when learning, meeting customers, navigating uncertainty to create something great, and working/growing in a high performance team.

For me, Life is all about people, learning & experiences. Having travelled to over 30 countries, worked in Hong Kong, India and Finland, indulged in adventure sports like skydiving, scuba diving, para sailing, skiing, rappelling amongst others, I try to make the most of every moment.

I have the ideal combination of working with young, ambitious startups, founding my own startup, and with industry leading Fortune 500 companies like Procter and Gamble, Microsoft, and Nokia. Over the last year, I have done pro-bono consulting for several startups around Funding, Business development, Marketing, and Go to Market execution. These startups are in logistics, retail, e-commerce and B2B services businesses.

Since I left Microsoft, I have been designing our young startup - www.shoppire.com, as a partner with www.talent2recruit.com and as a non executive board member of Aaliya trading Oy. My Marketing budget has ranged between 1K $ - 1 Million $, so I strike a right balance of creating content (hands-on Marketer), to leading global agencies to deliver on a brief.

Contact me if you have a marketing challenge or an interesting opportunity.
