Akanksha . — Technical Program Manager
I am a product-oriented Project Manager with a strong technical foundation, specializing in driving innovation, process optimization, and data-driven delivery. With 3+ years at Mercedes-Benz R&D India, I have led 14+ global SharePoint initiatives across APAC and EMEA, managing end-to-end delivery and enabling strategic transformation from solution design to execution. I began my career as a SharePoint Developer, where I built scalable enterprise solutions including training portals, HR knowledge bases, contract management systems, and automation-led workflows—achieving up to 10x reduction in manual effort. This hands-on technical background allows me to make informed decisions, balance business needs with technical feasibility, and guide teams with clarity. Transitioning into Project Management, I introduced Agile and Scrum practices, successfully transitioned teams from an FTE to a Managed Services model (delivering 1.5x cost efficiency), and established delivery metrics to improve predictability, quality, and stakeholder transparency across global teams. I thrive at the intersection of business strategy and technology execution, partnering closely with stakeholders to translate complex requirements into scalable, high-impact solutions. With a proactive, ownership-driven mindset, I consistently lead cross-functional teams to deliver measurable, outcome-driven results.
