About

I’m Rhea Karia, a product leader with 9+ years building digital products and enterprise platforms across travel, retail, loyalty, insurance, HR tech, fashion supply chain, and D2C ventures in APAC. I’ve led both zero-to-one product builds and large-scale enterprise rollouts (Salesforce, ServiceNow, low-code systems), owning discovery, roadmap, delivery, adoption and growth.

I thrive on turning ambiguous problems into scalable solutions, partnering with engineering, operations, and frontline teams to design data models, workflows, and go-to-market strategies that deliver measurable business impact. I’ve built and led cross-functional teams, ran discovery and experiments, and guided adoption through PLG and lifecycle marketing.
