Agile Project Manager at Kantar who led a five-country finance transformation into an India GCC/shared-services model.

At Kantar, I led a five-country finance transformation into an India GCC/shared-services model, covering AP, AR, Q2C, R2D and MDM. I introduced a Scrum-based knowledge transfer cadence to improve progress visibility and accelerate the resolution of delivery impediments.

At Publicis Sapient, I owned client-facing project and programme delivery across scope, priorities, milestones, risks, dependencies and budget constraints. I embedded Agile and Scrum practices and connected execution to Agile Portfolio Management for prioritisation and value-based decisions.

At XPO Logistics, I led Agile delivery for three application teams supporting Oracle TMS and improved team performance by 30–35% through Scrum coaching and process optimisation. At RXO, I coordinated SAFe dependencies and release readiness, and received an RXO Most Valuable Player award.

At Aim Global Solutions, I coached Scrum teams and owned delivery for Product Development teams. My portfolio also includes an AWS-hosted platform supporting ~20M records and an automated website deployment platform that supported onboarding 175+ clients.
