Hey folks,

I’m Pritesh Patil, alum of MCDM Cohort 20. I’m a Go-to-Market Manager at Goodreads, in the Amazon Books org. I work closely with multiple teams to improve our product positioning, build new packages, and drive revenue. Previously, I used to be a Senior Marketing Manager at Deako, a Y-Combiator incubated startup, where I built multi-channel marketing campaigns, alongside wearing every possible hat, as the startup life demands.

Outside of work, I write speculative fiction (I’m currently editing my third book), indulge in creative activities (I’ve just built a Greek-mythology based board game), or play a lot of futbol, and keep daydreaming of my next travelling adventure. I’m from Bombay, India, and I moved to Comm Lead to pursue my second Master’s degree. Happy to grab a coffee and chat more in person.

Cheers.
