I lead global Cisco Unified Communications service delivery, automation, and high-performing support teams.

Message

I lead a 40-member global L1–L3 team at HCL Technologies, delivering SLA-compliant Unified Communications support for 240+ Cisco customers. I manage complex environments spanning CUCM, CUC, Webex, Unity, CUPS, and Microsoft Teams.

I’ve improved service delivery through SOPs, runbooks, cross-skilling, proactive escalation handling, RCA, and workflow automation using Python and PowerShell. These initiatives reduced manual workloads by 20%+, improved team performance by 25%, and maintained 100% SLA adherence.

My background includes Cisco TAC and enterprise support for TelePresence, Tandberg, CUCM, Unity, Jabber, SIP, and video collaboration systems. I enjoy building accountable teams through mentoring, recruitment, training roadmaps, knowledge sharing, QBRs, and continuous improvement.
