What I'm looking for

I seek a senior leadership role driving AI/analytics-led product strategy or enterprise transformation, with impact-driven teams, strong governance, and clear growth and monetization goals.

I am a seasoned business strategist and AI/data analytics leader with 18+ years of experience delivering strategy, data science, machine learning and digital transformation across Automotive and Energy sectors. I have led enterprise-wide engagements, GTM, P&L, and client-facing advisory at global firms such as Kline & Company, Frost & Sullivan and IHS Markit (S&P Global).

I build and scale AI/ML platforms and SaaS solutions, establish AI Centers of Excellence, and implement MLOps and CI/CD to operationalize predictive models. My technical toolkit includes Python, R, SQL, Power BI, Tableau and Azure (Databricks, Synapse, ML Studio), with exposure to GenAI frameworks for augmentation and trend analysis.

I deliver measurable business outcomes — improving forecasting accuracy, driving data monetization, and increasing revenue — while leading cross-functional teams, shaping GTM strategies, and presenting thought leadership at industry forums. I am now available for full-time leadership roles after a planned sabbatical.
