What I'm looking for

I am seeking executive and leadership roles where I can lead enterprise AI strategy and product teams, drive GenAI/agentic AI adoption, build CoEs, and partner with executives to deliver measurable business impact.

I am a Strategic AI and Product Leader with 12+ years driving large-scale AI adoption, modernization, and value creation across healthcare, retail, BFSI, and energy, partnering directly with C-suite executives to shape multi-year roadmaps.

I design GenAI and agentic AI architectures, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent systems on Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, and have built scalable platforms for search, prior authorization, claims integrity, and marketing automation.

I have proven GTM and commercialization experience, credited with generating a $250M+ pipeline, closing $50M+ in revenue, and delivering over $1B+ in client value through enterprise AI solutions and transformation playbooks.

I lead cross-functional teams to deliver compliant, secure, and operational AI—architecting liable AI governance for HIPAA/GDPR environments and implementing enterprise-scale search and conversational AI solutions that drive measurable operational and financial outcomes.
