## About

With around 11\+years of experience navigating the fast\-paced world of presales, bid management, and business solutions, I’ve had the opportunity to partner with global teams, shape winning strategies, and deliver compelling responses that influence key business decisions\. Currently, I lead RFx pursuits \(RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, RFS\) across Global Growth Markets \(GGM\) at Cognizant, acting as a Single Point of Contact \(SPOC\) through the sales cycle\. My approach is simple but effective: combine deep cross\-functional collaboration with automation, storytelling, and stakeholder\-centric thinking\. 🔹 Experience working on large complex AMS deals $50Mn to $500Mn with multi service lines and multiple stakeholders which included vendor consolidation and GenAI enablement\. 🔹Built and implemented reusable frameworks that reduced proposal turnaround time by 40% 🔹 Created GenAI\-powered storytelling engines for executive summaries and deal narratives 🔹 Delivered 250\+ high\-impact proposals and 400\+ custom pitch presentations 🔹 Consistently supported 10\+ strategic accounts with tailored, domain\-specific content 🔹 Managed CxO\-level visits, global townhalls, and trained 50\+ stakeholders on presales best practices My value lies not just in executing tasks, but in orchestrating scalable, repeatable processes that improve quality, speed, and collaboration across regions\. I’ve worked across industries like BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, Manufacturing, Travel, and Logistics, supporting digital transformation, analytics, automation, and modernization efforts\. I’m passionate about integrating technology with presales—whether that’s through GenAI tools, pricing estimators, PowerApps, or building content libraries that boost proposal accuracy and reuse\. I also take pride in mentoring teams and helping others navigate the evolving landscape of solution consulting and sales enablement\. If you’re looking to connect on presales strategy, proposal automation, GenAI use cases, or cross\-functional bid management—I’m always happy to chat\!
