About

I currently serve as Chief Operating Officer at 411 Locals, where I focus on turning strategy into execution and building operational systems that deliver measurable business impact. With over 23 years of leadership experience, my work centers on scaling global operations, driving transformation, and building high-performing teams in complex, technology-enabled environments. I specialise in translating strategic priorities into disciplined execution — improving efficiency, strengthening governance, and enabling sustainable growth. Throughout my career, I have led large cross-functional initiatives spanning operations, customer experience, and technology-enabled service delivery. My approach combines operational rigor with modern transformation frameworks, including automation, AI-driven optimisation, and process excellence. In addition to operational leadership, I hold certification as an Independent Director from the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA). This experience strengthened my understanding of corporate governance, boardroom oversight, risk management, and strategic stewardship, complementing my hands-on execution background. My leadership focus includes: • Scaling global operations and delivery organisations • Driving operational transformation and performance improvement • Implementing AI and automation to improve productivity • Strengthening customer experience and retention strategies • Leading cross-functional teams through large-scale change • Enhancing governance, accountability, and decision-making frameworks I believe strong organisations are built through clarity of strategy, disciplined execution, and empowered teams. My goal is to help organisations scale sustainably, operate more intelligently, and build the capabilities required for the future. Always learning. Always evolving. Always building for the next level. Core Expertise: Global Operations | Business Transformation | AI & Automation | Operational Excellence | Customer Experience | Governance | Strategic Execution
