Capabilities

Unit economics.

Pricing strategy.

Modular pricing, radius optimization, geo-targeted pricing experiments. Pricing as a system of policies, not a single number.

Commercial deal policy.

Sales forecasting.

Pipeline-driven forecasting methodology designed from scratch — became the basis for revenue planning during TikTok's NA expansion window.

Financial modeling.

Multi-billion-dollar budget management, scenario modeling, sub-dollar incremental-cost tracking at the market level.
