I am a strategic technology and business leader with over 21 years of experience building and scaling global digital operations. My career spans setting up Global Capability Center (GCC) and business units from the ground up, while leading large-scale transformation programs across industrial, healthcare, and consumer technology sectors. I established the IoT GCC at Ametek and built the IoT & Mobility Business Unit at Harman Connected Services — creating high-performing global teams and driving multi-million-dollar portfolios. With P&L ownership and revenue responsibility exceeding $10M+, I specialize in aligning strategy, operating models, and execution to accelerate growth and strengthen competitive positioning. My leadership experience spans digital transformation, IoT ecosystems, and enterprise mobility, delivered through structured governance, vendor orchestration, and cross-functional global collaboration. I have scaled teams of 100+ professionals and built delivery organizations from concept to market with speed, financial discipline, and operational rigor. Currently, I advise EcoCloud on strategic initiatives spanning operating model alignment, delivery governance, and scalable growth execution — partnering with leadership to translate business vision into measurable outcomes. An alumnus of the Senior Management Program at IIM Ahmedabad, I bring a blend of engineering depth, commercial acumen, and strategic foresight — enabling organizations to convert complexity into sustained competitive advantage.
