About

Leader in Software Product Development and IT Services: Over 25 years of experience in building and managing software products. In my journey through the evolving landscape of the tech industry has equipped me with hands-on experience in developing, managing, and delivering technology solutions across diversified domains such as Telecom, IoT, and Call Control. Throughout my career, I have gained full lifecycle experience in designing and developing carrier-grade, highly scalable, distributed systems using both Agile and Waterfall models. This includes rich experience in writing end-to-end system specifications, driving requirements, developing prototypes, and conducting market and competitive analysis. As a Service Delivery Leader, I have developed proficiency in strategizing, designing, planning, and executing large-scale enterprise and service-provider telecom programs as well as digital services. My current role often involves the strategic design, implementation, and continuous improvement of ITIL processes. I ensure the processes align with business goals, stakeholder needs, and industry best practices, focusing on areas such as incident management, change management, knowledge management, and service level management. Excellent customer management skills are a cornerstone of my professional toolkit. I have closely worked with customers across the globe to resolve their issues and meet their requirements. This involves regular communication, understanding customer needs, and ensuring that solutions are tailored to meet those needs effectively. My ability to create a technical roadmap starting from multiple product roadmaps is a key aspect of my role. I fully own the prioritization and execution of these roadmaps, focusing on delivering incremental customer value. This involves a strategic approach to ensure that every step taken aligns with the overarching goals of the organization and delivers tangible benefits to the customer
