About

Financially Free since 33, quit my corporate job at 37. Following my interests and pursuing independent research in Longevity and Healthspan Governance. Selectively open to freelance consulting for exceptional Founders and CxOs, for Commercial Growth, Org Strategy and Kaizen-driven Process Improvements. Before quitting my 9 to 5, I was a senior management professional with 14+ years of diverse experience across life sciences, healthcare, energy, telecom, ed-tech and data science. I have worked across these industries in customer facing roles and reported to CxOs of organizations. Key skills built along the journey: C-suite engagement, strategy, management consulting, continuous improvement through Kaizens, commercial excellence, cross-functional & global project management, analytics, system integration and change management. I've worked in the CEO's office of Fortune 200 majors, and have also been the first employee at early stage startups. This breadth of exposure has helped me build tenacity, ambiguity tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help me thrive in global, multicultural workplaces. Work aside, I'm excited to share my debut work of fiction, Letters of a Bloodline, became the #1 bestseller on Amazon and delighted thriller and mystery lovers from 15+ countries. I did it two more times with my next two books.With rapidly growing readership from India, USA, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Spain, France, Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, UAE, Pakistan, and many more, my work enthralls readers with thought-provoking plots crafted into fast-paced, rivetting novels.
