Hi! I'm Nikunj Merchant. I'm a part of the AEM Sites product marketing team and lead product marketing efforts for our headless CMS and AEM for ecommerce offerings. Simply put, I'm the one to reach out to if you want to know how to provide immersive shopping experiences through content. Before Adobe, I worked for a series of high growth companies (my last company just became a unicorn), in roles where I predominantly led product marketing and demand generation. I'm fascinated by the psychology behind human thought and action and I love that my role lets me do a deep dive on why companies make the decisions they do. I also happen to be a massive sports fan (Arsenal, Lakers, Ferrari, Federer, Indian cricket team, Team Liquid), and can spend hours debating why "MY" teams/athletes are the best. Always excited to connect with new people on LinkedIn!
