Head of CIAM | Enterprise Asset Governance & Operational Strategy | Transforming Data Center Asset Integrity & Lifecycle Intelligence | Scaling ‘Single Source of Truth’ Frameworks

About

I transform fragmented asset environments into streamlined, high-visibility ecosystems. As Head of CIAM at CtrlS Datacenters, I serve as a strategic bridge between physical infrastructure and enterprise governance. My mandate: dismantle silos and establish a non-negotiable "Source of Truth" for mission-critical assets. By transitioning to high-security IT Vaults and automated tracking, I ensure the precision that large-scale infrastructure requires. With 20+ years of experience, I combine deep operational roots with executive-level strategy. I have managed $50M+ in annual procurement for hyperscale facilities, delivering significant cost savings and near-zero inventory variance. From leading APAC teams at Cognizant to my current governance role, I utilize Six Sigma rigor and advanced analytics to turn supply chain complexity into a competitive advantage. My Strategic Pillars: Governance Over Logistics: Defining institutional policy and total asset integrity. Integrity by Design: Replacing manual processes with automated, scalable intelligence. Heart-Centered Leadership: Fostering discipline through transparency and purpose. I am driven by the belief that operational excellence is a strategic necessity. Whether navigating trade compliance, hyperscale procurement, or governance architecture, I thrive at the intersection of complex problem-solving and executive alignment. I am passionate about building resilient supply chains that empower organizations to scale with confidence. Let’s connect to discuss the future of infrastructure intelligence and data-driven strategy.
