About

GCC and Enterprise Transformation Executive with 22+ years delivering large scale operating model transformation across GCC, captive, BPO, and shared services environments. My work sits at the intersection of Target Operating Model design, location strategy, intelligent automation, and enterprise governance. Across 40+ transformation programs, I have delivered $70M in verified business value, optimised 6,000+ FTE organisations, and transitioned two large corporate functions into GCC/shared services constructs within 26 months. Earlier in my career I have owned enterprise planning and strategic execution across 14 delivery centers in 4 countries. That experience shaped how I approach transformation, with board-level narrative discipline, not just program delivery rigour. What I bring to a mandate:- Target Operating Model (TOM) design and execution — GCC / Captive setup, incubation, and scale-up, GenAI and intelligent automation integration into operating models, Greenfield function builds, Outcome based governance, KPI architecture, and PMO leadership Open to mandates in GCC transformation, enterprise transformation, shared services, and BPO leadership.
