Anjan Nayak

I’m a seasoned Product & Innovation executive with over 22 years of hands-on experience driving AI-first, data-driven platforms for Fortune 500 and high-growth tech companies. My career has spanned mobility (TVS Motor), digital commerce (Walmart, Intel), cybersecurity (McAfee), and consulting, where I’ve consistently delivered measurable business outcomes—3× user growth, $100M+ in revenue, and double-digit YoY expansion on portfolios exceeding $300M.

What I Offer as a Remote Product Leader

• Strategic Roadmapping & P&L Ownership: I’ve defined multi-year product visions, translating market insights and competitive analyses into clear, prioritized roadmaps. My portfolios have ranged from enterprise analytics suites generating $60M annually to AI-powered mobility services with 1.2M active users.
• End-to-End Agile Delivery: As a certified CSPO, PMP, and PMI-ACP, I embed lean processes, OKRs, and two-week sprint cadences into every engagement. From backlog grooming to release planning, I align cross-functional teams—engineering, design, data science, marketing—to ship with speed and quality.
• AI/ML & Analytics Expertise: I partner seamlessly with data scientists and engineers to integrate machine learning models that improve predictive accuracy by 40%, drive 20% engagement lifts through personalization, and unlock untapped revenue streams via advanced analytics.
• Customer-Obsessed Innovation: I champion the voice of the customer at every stage—conducting UX workshops, A/B tests, and NPS studies—to ensure the products we build solve real user needs and delight end users.

Remote-First, Global Collaboration

I’ve successfully led distributed teams across three continents, leveraging Slack, Miro, Jira, and Zoom to maintain clear communication, foster remote camaraderie, and drive accountability. Whether mentoring early-stage startup founders or partnering with procurement vendors, I maintain a hands-on style that keeps remote teams aligned and motivated.

Why Work With Me?

• Proven Track Record: From piloting connected-vehicle commerce with 30% upsell rates to boosting online conversion by 15% at Walmart, I bring a results-oriented mindset.
• Adaptive & Scalable: I thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments—rapidly learning new domains (e.g., HR-Tech, Trust & Safety) and implementing scalable processes.
• Thought Leadership & Mentorship: I serve as a strategy advisor to startups, have authored product playbooks, and hold two US patents in connectivity and navigation.

I’m eager to partner with forward-thinking organizations on remote, freelance engagements where I can help define visionary product strategies, accelerate AI/ML initiatives, and build high-performing teams—delivering tangible business value from anywhere in the world.
