About

A seasoned Principal Consultant and Program Manager with 14+ years of experience leading complex business and IT transformation programs across the BFSI and consulting sectors, I specialize in delivering high-impact, data-driven solutions that drive organizational growth and operational efficiency. Currently, I lead transformative programs at Capco Technologies Ltd., a Wipro company, focusing on large-scale digital and business transformation initiatives for global BFSI clients. I bring deep expertise in Agile methodologies, governance, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable investment management. My proven ability to align strategic objectives with business needs has enabled me to consistently optimize program outcomes, improve decision-making, and ensure compliance in highly regulated industries. I excel in managing multi-stream, high-budget programs, leveraging resources efficiently, and delivering measurable results while fostering strong client relationships. Having worked with esteemed organizations such as Bajaj Allianz General Insurance and PricewaterhouseCoopers, I have honed my ability to lead cross-functional teams through large-scale transformations, implement process improvements, and drive continuous innovation. My focus on automation and RPA has delivered significant cost savings and enhanced productivity, and I take pride in mentoring teams to achieve collaborative success. I am now definitely ready for senior leadership roles such as Program Head, Program Director, or VP of Project Management, where I can leverage my extensive experience in driving large-scale transformation, managing risk, and optimizing business outcomes. I am passionate about leading change management initiatives, building high-performing teams, and aligning organizational goals with long-term business success.
