About

I work at the intersection of strategy, operations and execution, helping organizations translate ambitious plans into measurable outcomes. With experience spanning global operations, large-scale program management and digital transformation, I’ve led complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives where the real challenge wasn’t analysis-it was execution. I’ve managed USD 100M+ operations, delivered USD 1M+ annual cost savings and driven transformation initiatives across geographies, functions and cultures. My background in asset-intensive, high-risk environments shaped a consulting mindset grounded in first principles: diagnose precisely, prioritize ruthlessly and execute with discipline. Over the years, I’ve worked on: 1. Operating model redesign 2. Process optimization and cost transformation 3. KPI and performance management frameworks 4. Digital and data-led transformation initiatives 5. Change and stakeholder management at scale I’ve partnered closely with CXOs and leadership teams to improve operational visibility, governance and decision-making, while ensuring frontline feasibility. Additionally, through a strategy consulting engagement with Accenture Strategy & Consulting, I worked on future-state process design, benchmarking and performance metrics. I am keen to engage with opportunities in: Strategy Consulting | Operations Consulting | Transformation & PMO | Process Excellence If your organization values consultants who understand the boardroom and the shop floor, let’s connect.
