About

Strategy and operations leader with 13+ years across BCG, American Express, and Standard Chartered - building the structures, plans, and decisions that let complex organisations move. At BCG and BCG's Henderson Institute (the firm's global strategy research centre), I've owned end-to-end operating mandates: setting strategy, building org and people plans for cross-functional teams, driving cross-geography execution, and holding financial accountability for large-scale initiatives - including a ~$50M annual budget. I work best at the intersection of ambiguity and action - taking a complex brief, building the framework, aligning stakeholders, and seeing it through to execution. That's been true whether the context was a global think tank or a large financial institution. Currently exploring Senior Manager / Director roles in Strategy & Operations or Business Operations in Gurgaon / NCR.
