Sr Director- Global Partnerships at Tata Elxsi

About

I’m an engineering and ER&D services sales leader with over 29 years of international experience, shaped by working across the UK & Europe, MEA, the USA and India. What drives me is building trust — winning new logos, nurturing long term client partnerships, and co creating solutions that genuinely move the needle. I’ve spent my career scaling Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) businesses, delivering consistent double digit growth by combining commercial discipline with a passion for innovation. I enjoy bringing teams together, leveraging IPR led, differentiated solutions, and helping clients transform across Telecom, Consumer & Hi Tech, Mobility (Automotive, Aerospace & Defence), and Media & Entertainment. At my core, I’m motivated by growth, collaboration, and creating lasting impact for customers and teams alike.
