Hi! I’m Vatsala, a Strategy & Operations Principal Lead at Google in London. Over the past 10 years, I’ve built "0-to-1" operating models, led Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy, and scaled high-performing teams across Google, Amazon, Colgate-Palmolive, and McKinsey & Company.
Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in turning ambiguity into repeatable growth—including standing up large scale global organization, advising executives through multi-year "AI-first" pivots and organisation transformations, as well as building team functions from scratch. Alongside my core role, I also serve as an internal Google AI & Career Coach.
I partner with two groups on MentorCruise:
1. Startup Founders, COOs & Ops Leaders (0-to-1 Scaling)
• Operating Models & Org Design: Set up your core operational rhythm, OKR cycles, capacity models, and executive governance so your team scales without chaos.
• Go-To-Market & Commercial Growth: Build sales/partner playbooks, onboarding motions, and channel ecosystems.
• AI-First Operations: Practical frameworks to integrate AI and agentic workflows into your daily operations.
2. Ambitious Professionals & Aspiring Big Tech Leaders
• Career Pivots & Positioning: Translate Consulting, CPG, or Operations experience into high-impact, metric-driven resumes for Tech Companies.
• Interview Mastery: Mock interviews for Tech Strategy, Operations, and PM roles (behavioral, case studies, and structured problem-solving)
• Stepping into Leadership: Master C-level stakeholder management and transition smoothly from Individual Contributor to People Manager.
My mentoring style is structured, candid, and action-oriented. Send me a message with your #1 goal right now, or book an intro call to get started!
(Note: All coaching reflects my personal experience and views, not those of my employer.)
You tell Vatsala your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Vatsala reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.
You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
