I’m a seasoned Project Manager with 22+ years of experience delivering complex IT solutions across Retail, Banking, Logistics, and Media domains. I’m known for leading cross-functional teams, managing stakeholder relationships, and executing high-value projects under tight timelines.

My approach is to align technology with business goals while optimizing resources and driving delivery excellence. I focus on focused and detailed activity-based planning, tracking multiple projects/modules, and ensuring quality, testing, and release governance from end to end.

I’ve built strong client partnerships through workshop-led requirement gathering, SteerCo presentations, and quarterly/monthly business reviews—always adapting quickly to evolving project landscapes. I also lead risk management by identifying risks and ensuring contingency and mitigation plans, with clear approvals/sign-offs across internal and external stakeholders.

Highlights include delivering a Microsoft Foundry AI conversational interface integrated with ServiceNow ITSM, supervising AWS ETL data pipeline programs using AWS services, and managing logistics and banking initiatives across offshore teams. I’m committed to continuous improvement and measurable outcomes—plus mentoring, appraisals, performance optimization, and cross-skilling teams (Java and modern ETL like Databricks/pySpark).
