What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior roles where I can lead digital transformation, AI-enabled automation, and CRM/ERP integrations in Agile teams, driving measurable efficiency, compliance, and customer experience improvements.

I am a results-driven Senior IT Business Analyst and Project Management professional with over 15 years of progressive experience delivering digital transformation, Salesforce CRM integrations, ERP and P2P optimizations, and AI-driven automation across enterprises such as QNET India, Capgemini, and Genpact. I have led initiatives that improved team productivity, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction—examples include a Salesforce implementation that improved lead conversion by 40%, a P2R commission integration that saved $1.2M annually, and generative-AI automation that boosted operational efficiency by 30%.

I excel in Agile (Scrum/Kanban) environments, stakeholder management, and data-driven decision-making, using tools like Jira/Confluence, Power BI/Tableau, SQL, and cloud telephony platforms to deliver measurable outcomes. I am passionate about building scalable, compliance-first solutions (eKYC, CPA/TDS automation, ERP testing frameworks) that reduce risk, streamline operations, and drive business growth.
