What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in a forward-thinking organization that values innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

With over 30 years of experience in the IT sector, I have dedicated the last 15 years to senior management roles, where I have successfully delivered multiple technology and digital transformation projects for top-tier multinational corporations. My background as an Electronics Engineer, combined with my leadership training from IIM Bangalore, has equipped me with a strong foundation in emerging technologies such as IoT, AI, and Data Analytics.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional leadership and team management skills, effectively motivating and inspiring multidisciplinary teams to achieve project goals on time and within budget. My experience spans across various sectors, including government and corporate clients, where I have led large teams and managed complex projects involving significant budgets. I am adept at stakeholder management, ensuring that all parties are engaged and informed throughout the project lifecycle.

I am passionate about driving innovation and implementing best practices in software development. My strategic planning abilities have enabled me to align IT strategies with organizational goals, enhancing operational efficiency and improving citizen experiences in smart city initiatives. I am committed to fostering a collaborative work environment and continuously seeking opportunities for professional growth and development.
