AboutThe long version.

Thirteen years of work across two countries and two disciplines, a doctorate in progress, and a set of positions I hold because of how I got here rather than despite it.

Operations first. Marketing second.

What colleagues said

Five recommendations, unedited

Written on LinkedIn by people I reported to, was mentored by, or worked alongside during the operations years. Reproduced as written, including the parts I would have phrased more modestly.

Ravi and I worked together on a client based in Canada. We worked across three time zones (South Africa, India and Canada), collating financial data received from our client. By preparing surveys, using this data, we could obtain feedback from their clients and present the results after each survey. Ravi's skills on Word, Excel and PowerPoint are very good. Ravi is keen to learn new things and is a quick learner. He is very ambitious and true to himself. He is polite and can communicate very well with people on all levels. Ravi has a good heart and is always willing to help people wherever and whenever he can.
Loraine Germaine Cochrane Legal Process Administrator, Exigent Group Limited Managed me directly · September 2022
Ravi is an extremely sincere and hardworking coworker. During the time when I worked with him, Ravi's work output was the best in the team. We received the maximum clients' appreciation for his deliveries. Ravi never takes stress, even if he does, his signature smile is still intact.
Sarita Patnaik Relationship Manager, LexisNexis · NLSIU alumna Was my mentor · April 2021
I have worked with many professionals throughout my journey but Ravi was a unique one to work with. His time management skills are outstanding. Throw him extra work and he will still have enough time to chat with everyone. His ability to go out of his way to help others has made him stand out.

Outside the job

I make things with a camera

Photography, drone piloting and editing, and a travel channel I have run for years. It started as a hobby and quietly became half my professional toolkit.

youtube.com/@WhereMyFeetGotoday

01Photography

Landscape, travel and astrophotography on a Sony A7III. Composition and light are the same problem in an ad creative as in a photograph, which is why marketers who shoot tend to brief better.

02Drone piloting

Aerial footage for travel films. Flying legally in the UK means knowing the airspace rules, the registration requirements and where you genuinely cannot fly, which is its own small discipline.

03Editing and post

Cutting, colour and sound for the channel. Every short-form video decision I make professionally was learned here first, on my own footage, at my own expense.

04Where My Feet Go Today

Watch it here. A travel channel I write, shoot, fly, edit and publish myself. It is also the honest testing ground for everything I claim about content: thumbnails, retention, packaging and what audiences actually watch rather than what they say they want.

Positions

What I will defend

  • Fix measurement before spending anything
  • Optimise to be quoted, not just ranked
  • Report what failed alongside what worked
  • Refuse tactics that need hiding from the customer
  • Say which claims I can evidence and which I cannot

Each costs something. Fixing tracking delays a launch. Reporting failures loses the comfort of a good-news deck. I think the trades are worth it, and I would rather disagree about that early than discover it in month four.

Think we would work well together?

Tell me what you are building and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
