Cloud & AI pre-sales leader at Cisco, growing regional business 30% year over year and achieving 120% of annual target.

At Cisco, I lead a 10-person Cloud & AI pre-sales team across six APJC countries. We achieved 30% year-over-year growth and 120% attainment against the annual booking target, while I continue to contribute hands-on to proofs of concept and competitive validation.

As Solutions Engineering Manager – Enterprise Architecture, I led up to 18 Architecture Specialists and grew pre-sales service adoption by 9–17% quarter over quarter through enablement, workshops, and pilots. I also redefined the demo strategy, increasing demo-service utilization by 5%.

At HCL TECHNOLOGIES, I took on a significantly behind-schedule Voice transformation track for the Ascensia/Bayer Diabetes Care divestiture. I resolved scope and dependency issues and delivered the track first among the parallel workstreams, with roughly a week of buffer per site for user onboarding.
