Partner Success Manager
Wadhwani Foundation — NEN Accelerate Program · Remote
Nov 2020 – Sep 2026
AI-augmented tooling & process design
Designed and built a Portfolio Success Intelligence Dashboard (Streamlit) with RAG-based scoring covering venture momentum and investment signals, venture- and portfolio-level NPS, hub-wise status, and mentor-wise insights — reading live from SharePoint via the Microsoft Graph API, and always cross-referencing notes, venture folder files, and common documents rather than relying on any single data source.
Built a Mentor Search AI tool for mentor-venture matching, combining semantic search, a two-tier classification system (confirmed industry + operator-experience match vs. partial match), and a 10-point scoring rubric — replacing ad hoc, manual mentor selection with a repeatable, auditable process.
Built a Mentor Pool Dashboard (Streamlit) tracking mentor status (High Performer, Hidden Gem, Needs Review, Dormant, Active) through structured, venture-attributed feedback analysis.
Conducted structured gap analysis on a GPT-based agent's outputs against source transcripts, identifying systematic hallucination patterns — such as invented deadlines and fabricated deliverables — before those outputs reached mentors or ventures.
Designed mentor-venture matching frameworks and standing rules (e.g., single-mentor-per-session ownership, exclusion criteria for conflicting profiles) and led data categorization work to standardize legacy expertise and industry taxonomies across the mentor platform.
Designed operational processes, templates, and forms — including expert profile requests, feedback collection workflows, and RN onboarding forms — and validated their usability in practice.
