What I'm looking for

I'm looking for project or PMO leadership opportunities where I can improve delivery processes, manage budgets and resources, strengthen stakeholder relationships, and lead cross-functional teams toward measurable business outcomes.

I'm currently managing projects and allocated accounts at Ernst & Young GDS India LLP, covering budgeting, resource management, reporting, stakeholder communication, and critical assurance engagements.

I streamlined planning and reporting activities to reduce costs by 17% and increase project turnaround efficiency by 28%. I also analyze financial and operational data, present performance reporting to senior management, and drive workflow improvements.

Previously, I led PMO planning, governance, invoicing, forecasting, resource allocation, and project delivery at Capgemini and HCL Technologies. My work has included automated invoicing, budget controls, project scheduling, KPI scorecards, client communication, and post-project evaluations.

My earlier banking and administration experience includes leading 150+ staff across branches, managing customer and operational processes, and using reporting data for budgeting and forecasting. I bring over nine years of project, operations, client relationship, and team leadership experience.
