What I'm looking for

I am a seasoned Program/Practice Manager with over 15 years of experience in consulting, financial services, and public sectors. My expertise lies in shaping strategic agendas and enabling executive decision-making, particularly in managing large-scale programs for businesses exceeding $200M. I excel in aligning business objectives with program goals, ensuring that initiatives enhance growth and operational efficiency.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Practice Manager at Bain & Company, where I drive execution across a significant business line, facilitate cross-functional collaboration, and manage senior talent processes. My previous roles at Boston Consulting Group and PwC India have further honed my skills in strategic enablement and digital transformation, allowing me to lead initiatives that deliver measurable results and drive organizational transformation.
