What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep owning end-to-end service delivery—running SLAs and KPIs, improving operations with automation, and leading incident/escalation governance across global teams.

I’ve spent my career at Genpact, where I’ve led end-to-end service delivery with client relations, service-level review and management, and process improvements using AI and automation. I’ve coordinated security fulfilment services across internal delivery teams and built reporting that tracked service delivery progress transparently.

In earlier roles, I ran major incident bridge calls, transitioned the Major Incident Management team offshore, and drove debriefs so remediation stuck. I also supported VIP escalation processes, reduced escalations through proactive ticket reviews, and worked L1 support for 24/7 helpdesk networking and VPN/access issues.
