About

I am an experienced IT Delivery and Leader with over 16 years of experience driving large-scale technology programs and managing cross-functional teams across global clients. Having worked with industry leaders such as Coforge, Infosys, and Cognizant, I’ve led projects across diverse domains including Banking, Life Sciences, Consumer Goods, and Telecom, both from offshore and on-site (US) locations. Since last one year, I have been working in the EdTech space with Academian. My experience spans the full project lifecycle — from strategic planning, execution, and delivery governance to P&L management, margin optimization, stakeholder engagement, and resource management. I thrive in dynamic, multi-project environments that demand both strategic foresight and operational precision. My leadership philosophy centers on clarity, accountability, and collaboration, ensuring that teams perform at their best while delivering measurable business value. Whether leading large, distributed teams or driving client transformation initiatives, I bring a blend of technical acumen, business insight, and people-first leadership to every engagement.
