What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and leverages technology for growth.

I am a dynamic executive with over 18 years of leadership experience in driving significant digital transformation across global technology sectors. My expertise lies in leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including Blockchain, Generative AI, and Automation, to revolutionize business operations and deliver exceptional growth. Currently, as the Chief Business Officer at SettleMint India, I have successfully led the development and launch of a blockchain-based payment solution that resulted in a remarkable 30% increase in transaction volume within the first year.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded numerous initiatives that have significantly improved operational efficiencies and client satisfaction. For instance, I directed a team of engineers and product managers to create a secure, scalable platform capable of supporting over 1 million transactions daily. My strategic approach to partnership development has forged alliances with major banks, enhancing our blockchain solution's integration. Additionally, I have overseen the migration of enterprise data solutions to the cloud, achieving a 40% reduction in operational costs for our clients.
