Message

At LTIMindtree, I serve as a strategic advisor to Johnson & Johnson across Innovative Medicine, MedTech, and Vision Care, managing an $8M portfolio spanning SAP and Anaplan. I expanded the engagement from CFIN support to an Anaplan SaaS service line with 22 planning models across three business units.

I lead a 40-person cross-functional team and oversee delivery, account strategy, and data governance. I also engineered a KNIME-based automated rollover reconciliation process that saves 6–7 hours per cycle and eliminates manual reconciliation errors.
