Message

At FORD MOTOR COMPANY, I lead end-to-end technology delivery for automotive subscription products, coordinating 7 development teams and partners across Product, Engineering, Design, Legal, and Testing. I translate roadmap priorities into delivery plans and coordinate work through production deployment, hyper care, and closure.

In FORD MOTOR COMPANY’s Transformation Office, I supported enterprise Agile transformation, designed a product-team resiliency model, and developed a software maturity framework with Software Artisan teams. I also contributed to a department-level transformation playbook and coached emerging talent.

Earlier, I coached Agile teams at MINDTREE and INFOSYS TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, and supported Scrum teams at TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES across retail engagements. My experience also includes Java-based retail applications, an airline pricing module, and Agile delivery across automotive, retail, financial services, and airlines.
