    About me

    Portrait of Rohit Nathany

    Turning technology into business outcomes, from code to commerce.

    I’ve operated where technical complexity meets commercial strategy, leading engineering, product, marketing and supply chain while owning 9-figure P&Ls.

    I co-founded a manufacturing business in India, built a 0→1 venture at Amazon, sat on HelloFresh’s leadership team from pre-IPO through IPO, navigated M&A at MakeSpace, and led tech transformation, marketing and the eCommerce P&L at Mejuri.

    Today I advise founders and execs across tech and consumer, mostly people I’ve worked with before, and write about what I’m learning here.

    Earlier: Goldman Sachs. Michigan Ross MBA · IIT · CFA Level II.
