Strategic Operations & Executive Communications | Cross-Functional Program Leadership | Chief of Staff | 15+ Years in Global Tech

India

Message

With 15+ years in global tech environments - spanning EY, Oracle, Target, Exela Technologies, and Innoplexus - I've built my career at the intersection of strategy, operations, and executive communications. My work has always been about more than marketing: it's been about creating the infrastructure that lets organizations execute with clarity and consistency.

I've launched global intranets, led end-to-end corporate rebrands, built content and workflow governance systems from scratch, and executed multi-market campaigns across the US, EU, and APAC - each time acting as the operational connective tissue between leadership vision and on-the-ground delivery.

What I bring to each of my roles:
- Translating executive priorities into org-wide action plans
- Building cross-functional alignment across teams that don't always speak the same language
- Designing scalable systems and reporting frameworks that give leadership real visibility
- Managing complexity, ambiguity, and competing priorities without losing momentum
