Sharan Kumar

I am a results-oriented Project Manager with 9 years of experience delivering success in IT infrastructure and software development projects. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and optimize project execution through best practices. I excel in clear communication, proactive risk mitigation, and ensuring high-quality deliverables.

One of my notable achievements includes overseeing NAS migration projects totaling $500,000 from UNITY to VNX systems at Hitachi Vantara. By coordinating the NAS migration project, I achieved a 20% improvement in data accessibility and efficiency. I am skilled at articulating complex project details in C-level executive presentations and steering committee meetings, ensuring clarity and alignment to project objectives through proactive status tracking and reporting.

As a Fulfillment Manager at Wells Fargo, I led server upgrades and collaborated with partners to design and implement data center infrastructure solutions. By implementing hybrid methodologies for SAN, NAS, and VM upgrade projects, I consistently completed projects on average 60 days ahead of schedule. I managed server upgrades for 500+ servers, achieving an 85% approval rate on first submission of Bills of Materials and a 20% reduction in funding approval time. Additionally, I increased ticket throughput by more than 25 tickets (45%) monthly through streamlined workflows and enhanced team collaboration.

During my tenure as an IT Infrastructure Project Coordinator at Viatris, I leveraged my expertise in data center technologies to lead a team and deliver successful initiatives. I developed expertise in IT infrastructure and data center technologies, including server hardware, operating systems, SAN storage, and networking equipment. By providing weekly status reports to Service Delivery Managers, I improved project transparency by 15% and reduced errors and delays.

As an Associate Consultant at Capgemini India Pvt Ltd, I provided client support for major accounts and generated insightful monthly reports. I saved more than $20K in additional training costs by elevating stakeholder engagement and team collaboration through the development of the department's first training lab. I was recognized as the top performer for client satisfaction within six months and elevated team proficiency through innovative 'Lunch & Learn' sessions.
