IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Results-oriented Project Co-Ordinator and EPM Solutions Architect with 10 years of experience, including 5+ years in IT and EPM consulting. I bring end-to-end delivery ownership—initiation through execution, UAT, and hyper-care—while keeping stakeholders aligned and delivery outcomes measurable.
In my current role, I lead cross-functional teams of 10–20 across 8+ concurrent EPM engagements, governing $1M+ project portfolios using PMP®-aligned methods. I serve as the primary liaison for 15+ Finance Directors, CFOs, PMOs, and IT stakeholders, maintaining a 98% client satisfaction rating and achieving 95%+ on-time delivery.
I’ve architected and delivered 20+ tailored EPM solutions by translating complex business needs into scalable designs aligned to industry KPIs. I also strengthen operational reliability through governance, audits, and system support—e.g., sustaining 99% availability in SOX-regulated environments and supporting 100+ annual control reports with zero major compliance findings.
My delivery approach is practical and continuous-improvement driven: I standardize frameworks (QA checklists, deployment runbooks, onboarding guides) to reduce rework, and I embed AI-enabled productivity tools (Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, Grok) to automate documentation and improve team throughput.
