## About

I’ve spent much of my career learning one thing: a strategy is only as good as an organisation’s ability to execute it\. Over the past 13 years, I’ve worked across global operations, corporate strategy, business transformation and executive leadership\. My career has taken me from managing complex maritime operations across 92 countries to helping build and scale businesses across India, Africa and the Middle East\. Today, I work in Corporate Strategy within the CEO’s Office of a global digital engineering company, focusing on enterprise transformation, AI\-led operating models and strategic initiatives\. Before this, I served as Deputy CEO of a multi\-country business group, working closely with the founders on growth, operations and transformation across seven entities in four countries\. A few experiences that have shaped how I approach business: \* Built and scaled a GCC in India from 10 to 284 people in 15 months, bringing together technology, HR, finance and other business functions, while expanding the centre’s service capabilities\. \* Improved productivity by 25% and reduced processing times by 30% through process redesign, automation and stronger operating controls\. \* Worked on M&A, business expansion and integration initiatives, connecting investment decisions with operating models, execution plans and performance tracking\. \* Managed complex maritime operations across 92 countries, leading multicultural teams of 85\+ and maintaining over 99% asset availability\. \* Delivered operational improvements, including an 18% reduction in cargo turnaround time and approximately $2\.1 million in annual voyage operating cost savings\. My earlier years in maritime operations continue to influence how I work\. Managing high\-value assets, people and time\-critical decisions taught me to look beyond the presentation and understand what it actually takes to deliver results\. An MBA from the Indian School of Business added a broader strategic perspective to that operating experience\. The work I find most interesting sits at the intersection of corporate strategy, enterprise transformation, global business services, technology and business performance\. I enjoy connecting with people who are building businesses, challenging established operating models and finding practical ways to make organisations work better\.
