In My Own Words
As a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in the automotive industry, I am currently pursuing an MBA in Business Analytics at Gannon University to enhance my strategic and analytical skills. My career trajectory includes significant leadership roles, notably as Senior Manager at Nissan Nepal for 6.5 years and Manager at Suzuki Nepal for 3.5 years, where I honed my expertise in Automotive Dealer Network Management, Sales Management, and Business Development.
With a strong educational foundation, including a Master's in Business Studies from Tribhuvan University, I have consistently driven growth and operational excellence in my previous roles. My strategic vision and ability to cultivate high-performing teams have been instrumental in achieving business objectives and expanding market presence.
Passionate about the automotive sector, my ultimate career goal is to ascend to the role of CEO at a leading automotive or car manufacturing company. I am dedicated to leveraging my comprehensive industry knowledge, leadership experience, and advanced analytical skills to drive innovation and achieve sustained business success.
