## Headline

CPG & Retail AI Leader \| GTM, Strategy & Digital Transformation \| 16\+ Years across Consulting & Industry

## About

I help CPG and Retail organizations cut through AI hype and build capabilities that drive measurable business outcomes — from consumer intelligence to AI\-powered marketing, personalisation at scale and trade spend optimisation\. With 16\+ years spanning management consulting \(EY, Tech Mahindra\) and AI GTM leadership \(Wipro\), I’ve operated at the intersection of deep industry knowledge and emerging technology — translating complex AI possibilities into business cases that resonate with C\-suite stakeholders\. At Wipro, I lead the CPG & Retail AI offerings globally, owning the full cycle from market positioning and solution design to partner ecosystems \(Microsoft, AWS, Google, IBM\) and analyst relations \(Gartner, Forrester, IDC, Everest\)\. I’ve opened new market categories, built referenceable client relationships across Europe and global markets, and developed proprietary AI frameworks mapped to CPG value chains — from farm gate to shelf to consumer\. I’m now looking to take this expertise into a role where I can drive AI\-led transformation from within — whether inside a GCC for a leading Retail/CPG company, or as an industry GTM leader at a technology platform company\.
