About

I'm a seasoned technology leader with over 22 years of experience driving transformation across diverse domains including Retail Banking (Payments & Channels), Cyber Security, General Insurance, and Infrastructure Services. My core strength lies in bridging the gap between business needs and technology outcomes—delivering scalable, secure, and customer-centric solutions. I’ve led globally distributed teams of up to 600+ FTEs across India, Australia and UK, managing both RUN (ITSM, Service Operations) and CHANGE (Programs, Portfolios, Transformations) tracks. My leadership style is deeply people-focused—rooted in empathy, trust, and long-term talent development. Strategically, I’ve helped clients shape and execute multi-year roadmaps that align with enterprise objectives, improve cost efficiencies, and elevate customer experiences. I’ve worked closely with CXOs on critical programs across core banking modernisation, payments transformation, and cyber uplift initiatives. Currently, I'm expanding my focus toward Generative AI, exploring how emerging technologies can augment operational efficiency, customer support, and decision-making.
