Jai Manickam

MBA graduate (Marketing, minor in Business Consulting) who takes ambiguous, problems and turns them into structured, executable plans. Built a market mapping and GTM intelligence report for a live digital payment product from scratch, and independently structured a KPI tree, and partnership roadmap for a market-entry strategy project. Comfortable owning a problem end-to-end research, data analysis, stakeholder communication, and follow through without waiting for perfect information.

Analytically grounded (Excel, Power BI) with a bias toward scrappy, resourceful execution. Looking to bring this generalist, high-ownership approach to a management trainee role spanning strategic growth, data analysis, and execution.
