About

Visionary Transformation and AI Leader - Enterprise Operations Strategist - Award Winning Innovator I build enterprise technology capabilities from the ground up—turning AI ambition into operating reality and measurable business value. Across 22+ years, I have led global mandates spanning enterprise AI, GenAI and Agentic AI, data engineering, analytics, intelligent automation, operating-model transformation, GCC establishment and large-scale technology delivery. Most recently, I led the establishment and operationalisation of the BHP Technical Centre India as an extension of BHP’s global technology organisation. Within an intensive 90-day mandate, I helped take the centre from mobilisation to launch and operational readiness—leading the inauguration, building the Foundation 50, establishing specialist technology chapters, and embedding the operating model, governance, leadership cadence and demand-to-delivery mechanisms required for sustainable scale. At FIS, I led a portfolio of 90+ AI, GenAI, analytics and automation opportunities across Capital Markets and Corporate Banking, established an AI and Transformation Centre of Excellence, and delivered more than $1.5 million in realised value. At J.P. Morgan Chase, I founded the first Data Strategy and Analytics Hub for CIB Client Account Services. I established an enterprise data capability spanning Finance, AML and Treasury, strengthened governance across 223 critical data elements, improved predictive reconciliation accuracy by 48%, and led initiatives with $4.5 million in annual savings potential. Earlier, I built and scaled Uber India’s technology delivery capability to 1,000+ professionals across data science, AI/ML, data engineering, software engineering, platforms and DevOps. My leadership spans enterprise AI strategy and operationalisation, trusted data foundations, GCC and capability-centre establishment, global delivery, executive stakeholder leadership, Responsible AI, governance and value realisation. Recognised through the National Bharat GenAI Award and UBS AI Excellence recognition, I bring together strategic vision, operating discipline and human-centred leadership. I am at my best when the mandate is ambitious and still being shaped—when an organisation needs someone who can convert a vision into a functioning capability, build the right teams and create the structure required to scale. Beyond enterprise leadership, I have dedicated more than 37 years to animal welfare and compassionate action—a commitment that continues to shape how I lead.

Voluntary work at Career Break, Oct 2025 - May 2026 · 8 mos, Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India, Led national animal-rights advocacy and legal action during a defining period for the protection of India’s community dogs. Following the Supreme Court’s 7 November 2025 directions concerning the removal and non-return of community dogs from educational institutions, hospitals, sports facilities, bus stands and railway stations, I participated directly in the nationwide legal response. I filed and pursued proceedings as an individual petitioner-in-person before the Supreme Court of India in In Re: “City Hounded by Strays, Kids Pay Price,” Suo Motu Writ Petition (Civil) No. 5 of 2025. My intervention drew upon more than three decades of ground-level experience as an animal-welfare activist, rescuer, feeder and caregiver. Through my submissions and public advocacy, I sought lawful, humane and science-based implementation; protection against indiscriminate displacement; adherence to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and Animal Birth Control Rules; and a balanced approach safeguarding both public safety and animal welfare. This work formed part of a historic national mobilisation involving animal-welfare organisations, individual applicants and leading legal counsel. The proceedings and advocacy continued through multiple hearings as the Court considered applications seeking clarification and modification of its directions. Alongside this national advocacy, I continued leading the Jeny Leon Lopez Foundation and EarthSouls—overseeing rescue and care operations for 300+ animals, daily street-animal feeding, veterinary coordination, teams, fundraising and development of a long-term sanctuary and compassionate-community vision.
