About

🌍 Techno-Social Entrepreneur | Associate Partner (Sr Expert) at McKinsey I help organizations harness #TechnologyForImpact — spanning #Cloud, #ITInfrastructure, #Cybersecurity, and #GenAI / #AgenticAI — while also leading initiatives that bridge #EduTech and #SocialImpact. Over the past 5+ years at McKinsey, I’ve had the privilege to: #Shape large-scale IT transformations across industries, driving resilience, security, and value through deep infrastructure and data expertise. #Pioneer work at the intersection of #GenAI and #EducationTechnology, helping clients explore how next-gen tools can unlock learning outcomes at scale. #Lead McKinsey’s Center for Social Impact (#CSI) engagements with nonprofits — enabling them to strengthen capabilities, mobilize volunteers, and amplify their societal reach. 🔑 What differentiates me is the dual lens I bring: #A technical edge: recognized globally for deep expertise in #ITInfrastructure and #CyberResilience. #A social mission: creating platforms that inspire colleagues and clients alike to contribute meaningfully to #Education and #Society. I see myself as a #TechnoSocialEntrepreneur — using technology not just to solve business problems, but to spark broader impact. 📌 Current focus areas: #CyberSecurity & #RiskManagement – helping clients navigate resilience in an AI-driven era. #EduTech & #GenAI – shaping platforms that reimagine learning. #SocialImpactLeadership – building ecosystems where corporate talent meets nonprofit needs. Always open to conversations on how #Technology can enable transformation — in business and in society
