What I'm looking for

I'm looking for challenging IT engineering assignments where I can work closely with business, leverage my breadth of delivery experience, and continue to learn and grow.

At Dell Technologies, I lead Global Pricing Transformation, helping implement and manage pricing strategy to maximize profitability across route-to-market.

I've delivered end-to-end enterprise IT across applications, infrastructure, consulting, BPO, and managed services. My work spans digital transformation, cloud migration, analytics, RPA, e-commerce, legacy modernization, and end-user computing.

Previously, I advised Emaar PJSC on outsourcing and transitioning group IT services and restructuring its retained IT organisation. Across HCL Technologies and Wipro Technologies, I managed IT operations, consulting, sales support, service delivery, and transformational change for UK BFSI, CPG/FMCG, utilities, government, and insurance customers.

I work closely with business teams from ideation and business cases through benefit realisation and change. I'm looking for challenging IT engineering assignments where I can apply this breadth of experience, work closely with business, and continue learning and growing.
