About

As enterprises shift into an AI-first world, I help C-suite leaders redefine their Global Capability Centers to unlock innovation, resilience, and long-term strategic value. Over the years, I’ve supported global organizations in transforming traditional GCC models, built largely for cost efficiency into intelligent, future-ready capability engines that drive enterprise-wide impact. My career has spanned three distinct phases: • Leading large GCCs within global enterprises • Advising organizations as an independent consultant • Now shaping the future of GCCs through AI-powered Capability Intelligence Today, I lead the Global Capability Intelligence Practice, where we’ve productized decades of execution experience into a modern, intelligence-led GCC operating approach. At the core of our work is a belief that capability centers can be engineered for innovation, adaptability, and measurable enterprise ROI, not just operational output. Using our proven ABOOT framework (Advice–Build–Operate–Own–Transfer), we architect GCCs for: ✓ Data-driven decision making ✓ Innovation-led operating models ✓ Human + AI collaboration ✓ Sustained, measurable business value Our work spans the full spectrum of intelligent GCC transformation: • AI-native strategy & operating model design • Location intelligence and ecosystem strategy • Future-ready talent architecture & governance • End-to-end transformation using the ABOOT model • Agentic AI models enabling Human + Bot collaboration Across 15+ global locations, I’ve guided enterprises in making the value of their GCCs visible, tangible, and strategically relevant. If you’re designing an AI-ready GCC or reimagining the future of your capability strategy, let’s connect.

Vice President | GCC Practice Head

Dec 2025Present · 4 mos · Hybrid

  • I lead a premier Global Capability Centre (GCC) Strategy & Advisory Practice that partners exclusively with C-suite leaders to solve one critical challenge- How to transform legacy global operations into AI-powered strategic assets that drive innovation, growth and competitive advantage.
  • The Problem We Solve -When global teams are built for efficiency—not intelligence—they hit what we call the "Innovation Ceiling." Talent attrition rises, ROI plateaus and strategic impact vanishes. What was once a cost-saving advantage becomes a competitive liability in the AI era.
  • Our Solution -We employ a proprietary framework to architect, launch and scale intelligent global operations with guaranteed outcomes.
  • Why Leaders Trust Our Approach -Built on 20+ years of global execution expertise and powered by proprietary intelligence platforms, we don't just advise—we architect and guarantee transformation. Our methodology de-risks the journey from vision to value, ensuring that global capabilities evolve from back-office functions to innovation partners embedded in core R&D, product and digital roadmaps.
  • My Role & Focus:
  • Serving as a strategic advisor to CXOs on GCC transformation, location intelligence and AI-led operating models
  • Leading a world-class practice grounded in execution excellence and outcome-driven partnerships.
  • Championing the integration of AI, automation and data intelligence into the future of global business operations
  • Shifting the boardroom conversation from cost optimization to strategic capability creation
  • Let's Connect If -You're leading or influencing global operations, exploring GCC transformation, building AI-ready teams offshore, or investing in the future of intelligent enterprise capability.
  • I welcome conversations with forward-thinking leaders committed to reinventing how global business operates.
