About

With 20+ years across operations, strategy, and global delivery, I’ve led large, complex organizations where accountability sat with margins, people, compliance, and customer outcomes, not presentations. I also work with founders, operators, and investors on brand commercialization and market deployment not as a creative exercise, but as an execution problem. That means translating positioning into pricing, demand engines, sales enablement, customer experience, and operating cadence that actually scales revenue. My experience spans deep, execution-heavy domains, including: ▶️BFSI – core banking support, credit cards, fraud & risk operations, and regulated customer servicing ▶️Collections & Revenue Cycle – early to late-stage collections, compliance-led recovery, retention-focused models, and productivity optimisation ▶️Insurance – policy servicing, claims operations, and back-office transformation ▶️Healthcare – claims processing and revenue cycle management (RCM) with a focus on accuracy, leakage reduction, and turnaround times ▶️Digital & tech-enabled services – platform-led operations, CX transformation, and AI-assisted workflows I’ve run these at scale with ownership for cost, quality, compliance, delivery, and P&L outcomes. Some chapters from the field: 1️⃣Led the Philippines transformation at Firstsource Solutions, managing 3,000+ people across geographies and a $15M-$20M P&L at a 16% operating margin 2️⃣Helped SEOReseller scale toward a $30M topline post-acquisition through focused operational and commercial transformation 3️⃣Redesigned training, performance, and onboarding systems that cut time-to-productivity and delivered measurable revenue lift 4️⃣Advised 25+ businesses across BFSI, services, and technology on execution discipline, operational clarity, and scalable growth Alongside delivery, I’ve worked closely on brand commercialisation and market activation, ensuring growth initiatives translate into revenue, retention, and operational readiness not just visibility. I don’t believe in surface-level fixes. I go deep into systems, incentives, decision flows, and human behaviour and stay involved until it’s resolved. If you’re navigating growth, transformation, post-acquisition integration, or execution challenges or want grounded insights from someone who has owned outcomes at scale follow along or reach out.
