Helping enterprises get real value from SaaS and AI, not just go-live | Writing about CS, AI, Science and Tech | 12+ years across global accounts

About

I operate at the intersection of enterprise transformation, delivery leadership, and revenue accountability — and lately, hands-on experimentation with AI tools. Over the past 12+ years I have led finance and operational modernization across global enterprises, combining deep Order-to-Cash expertise with structured implementation ownership and measurable value realization. My experience spans the full transformation lifecycle — from solution design and scoping through go-live execution, KPI governance, executive stakeholder engagement, and renewal and expansion ownership across $750K–$1.5M ARR portfolios. At HighRadius, I partnered with CFO organizations to architect O2C transformation programs targeting 10–20% DSO improvement, delivering 198% of my $1M ARR target and earning President's Club recognition. At Sensei Labs, I led post-sales implementation and go-live for 10–15 enterprise accounts (~$800K ARR), establishing KPI governance frameworks to drive measurable transformation outcomes across M&A, ESG, and large-scale operational programs. Earlier, as a Management Consultant at Capgemini and through global O2C exposure at Novartis, I built strong foundations in O2C, R2R, and P2P transformation within complex enterprise environments. I am particularly interested in scaling delivery and customer success capabilities within growth-stage SaaS organizations serving global enterprise customers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. Outside of work, I have been learning in public. Over the past few months I have been experimenting with AI tools — building custom GPTs, automating workflows on N8N, running agentic tasks on Claude CoWork, and deploying micro apps on a self-hosted cloud server. I built four apps on Lovable without writing a line of code — two of them for my toddler son. I run a fully automated Instagram content pipeline for a Hindu calendar account, and a daily learning digest that lands in my folder every morning at 8am. The experiments are ongoing. I share what I learn — what works, what doesn't, and what surprises me — openly on LinkedIn. If you are building in this space, or figuring out how AI tools fit into serious enterprise work, I am always up for a conversation.
