I’m a results-driven Senior Delivery Manager with 20+ years of experience leading multi-million dollar ($6M+) enterprise IT programs and GCC operations. I orchestrate global distributed teams across the US, UK, and APEC, consistently turning complex delivery into measurable outcomes like 145+ production releases.

I specialize in virtual project governance that keeps stakeholders aligned without meeting fatigue. Using Jira, Smartsheet, and Confluence, I create asynchronous transparency, and I’ve pioneered Virtual War Rooms and digital Scrum ceremonies that increased remote team engagement scores by 20%.

I bring AI-enabled automation into delivery—leveraging GenAI tools (ChatPRD, NotebookLM, Gamma.ai, Napkin.ai, Microsoft Copilot) for automated documentation, risk prediction, and report generation. I also lead next-gen tech governance for MLDC, MLOps, and GenAI work with a clear focus on Trust & AI Ethics.

In my recent role at HealthEdge India, I directed master schedules for 50+ client implementations and established a standardized reporting framework for real-time project health visibility. Earlier, as a Senior Manager – Delivery at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I mentored distributed Scrum teams using Jira/VSTS and delivered executive-level value realization through virtual QBRs, backed by PMP, CSM, SAFe, and cloud certifications.
