About

Hands-on and leadership experience in AI Solutioning & Product Management: I lead the delivery of enterprise AI initiatives, owning both execution and AI roadmap for business-critical functional areas. My work spans strategy, stakeholder management, technical leadership, and cross functional collaboration. I enjoy partnering with business leaders to identify AI opportunities, shaping AI investment decisions through ROI-driven analysis, and translating business priorities into technology solutions. I work closely with cross-functional teams across Engineering, Product, Program Management, and Business functions to deliver measurable outcomes. My experience includes leading AI teams, mentoring talent, and overseeing the complete AI lifecycle—from ideation and experimentation to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. I'm particularly excited about building cost efficient hybrid AI systems that combine LLMs, Agentic AI, and Classical ML to solve enterprise problems at scale.
