I'm leading a $2.5M PTC FlexPLM implementation, development, upgrade, maintenance and support program at HCL Technologies for a global retail customer. I own cost, quality and milestone adherence across concurrent workstreams, coordinating global teams and client stakeholders.

Across HCL Technologies and Tata Consultancy Services, I've managed PLM and engineering lifecycle portfolios spanning FlexPLM, Teamcenter, Windchill and Agile PLM. I've led onshore-offshore delivery for clients across the US, UK, China, Hong Kong and Australia, with teams of up to 45+ across development, QA, support and infrastructure.

I've improved sprint and milestone predictability by 15%, reduced schedule slippage by 20%, improved operational efficiency by 30%, and increased system uptime by 20%. My delivery approach combines Agile, waterfall and ITIL governance with practical risk management, stakeholder communication and mentoring.
