What I'm looking for
I’m an Organizational Development and Transformation executive with 15+ years of leadership engineering cross-functional workforce strategies, target operating models, and scalable institutional designs. I align corporate vision with business architecture, steering multi-region agile transformations and establishing cross-border operations across India, Europe, and the Middle East.
In my current role as Chief Operating Officer – Consulting, I translate corporate vision into structurally aligned operating models across Product, Marketing, Sales, and Support. I design and institutionalize high-performance governance frameworks using OKR/KPI metrics to improve workforce accountability, visibility, and delivery outcomes.
I’ve also led global Agile and PMO transformation programs, constructed enterprise knowledge management networks and onboarding frameworks to accelerate time-to-productivity, and deployed PMO reporting dashboards (Power BI) to evaluate delivery velocity and operational risk. My approach centers on data-driven decision making, change management, and capability architecture that drives sustainable structural growth.
