GenAI Strategist & Project Manager | Helping teams move from AI hype to real results | Ex-Deloitte

About

Most organizations are drowning in AI demos. Very few are shipping results. That gap is where I work. I'm a GenAI Project Manager and AI Strategist with 7+ years of experience turning ambiguous AI opportunities into deployed, measurable outcomes. Before going deep on AI delivery, I spent nearly 6 years at Deloitte USI as a Consultant - building automation systems, running enterprise deployments, and learning how large organizations actually adopt new technology (slowly, and only when someone makes it painless). Here's what that looks like in practice: → Compressed compliance report delivery from 2–4 months to 3–5 days for environmental consultants using a GenAI platform I managed end-to-end → Scaled AI tool adoption 10× in 30 days (20 → 200 users) at a major bank through structured demos, onboarding, and making department heads the internal champions → Reduced enterprise document retrieval from 5–7 minutes to under 40 seconds using RAG-based semantic search across 1,000+ documents → Saved 2,500+ hours at Deloitte by automating migration of 7,000+ legacy contracts - while keeping full compliance intact I manage cross-functional teams of 12–15, write PRDs, run Agile ceremonies, and obsess over the gap between what AI can do and what actually gets used. That last part adoption is where most AI projects die, and it's where I spend most of my energy. I also post regularly on LinkedIn about AI's impact across industries. Not hype. Practical takes on where AI is actually moving the needle — and where it isn't. A few things I believe: → The best AI project manager is also a translator — between what the business needs and what's actually buildable → Adoption is a product problem, not a training problem → Prompt engineering is a strategic skill that belongs in the PM toolkit 📩 Open to: AI PM roles · GenAI consulting · Enterprise AI advisory · Speaking opportunities Let's connect: DM me or reach out at nikharjajoo@gmail.com → Professional Skills Product Management | GenAI Product Strategy | Product Management | AI Delivery | RAG Systems | Prompt Engineering | Product Roadmaps | PRD Writing | Agile Delivery | Stakeholder Management | User Adoption | JIRA | Digital Transformation | Process Automation
