What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise transformation, operating model redesign, and execution governance where I can help senior leaders build scalable organizations, improve accountability, and deliver measurable operational outcomes.

I advise founders, CEOs, and senior leadership teams at Simpliwise Consulting on organization transformation, operating model redesign, and execution excellence. I help growth-stage and mid-market enterprises build scalable, investor-ready structures, governance, and performance rhythms.

Previously, at Bank of New York, I led enterprise-wide onboarding, operations, platform modernization, and change initiatives. I built KPI-driven dashboards and execution controls that contributed to 20%+ improvements in cycle time and error reduction.

In the Indian Army, I directed modernization and capability programs exceeding $100M across 15 operational units and external partners, delivering $10M+ in cumulative savings. I also sustained approximately 97% operational readiness and improved operational output by approximately 30% through workflow optimization, risk management, and structured program controls.

My work combines strategy, structure, governance, and delivery discipline. I use Lean Six Sigma, KPI system design, PMO frameworks, Power BI, PowerApps, and structured change control to turn transformation mandates into lasting operating mechanisms.
