Hi, I'm Aatir. I write about how to build & grow products that matter.

With over a decade of experience in Product Management and marketing, I share practical tips and knowledge on achieving product & business success.

Contact Me

I fuse Product & Marketing to help ship products that matter.

Even the best products can fail if they have a poor go-to-market strategy. Along navigating the dev kitchen to build compelling products, I help teams create avenues to put the product in the hand of customers.

Think Product Management, Product Marketing, Sales Enablement, Demand Generation & CRM Automation.
