About

I have 15 years of experience as a Data Science and Analytics professional with 10+ years leading Data teams. I've led large cross functional teams for multiple Fortune 500 companies/clients (both onshore in the US and Singapore and offshore in India), where I was instrumental in setting up centralized Data Science and Data Analytics units across verticals. As a Data team leader, I excel in thought leadership and stakeholder management (to bridge the gap between business teams and technical data teams) as well as application of machine learning and analytical techniques with a constant focus on problem solving and ensuring business impact from the team. My experience includes projects across the complete data lifecycle of data modeling, visualization, data analysis and machine learning. Some highlights of my career include: - Building the first Machine Learning models at Amex for POS fraud, when chip and pin cards were being introduced in the US - Building and productionalizing Pricing models for Snapdeal at a time when Amazon was entering the Indian market - Scaling Analytics teams for a Top 5 US bank from 5 to 100 - Setting up DS and Analytics team globally and leading them both on- and off-shore
