24+ years building teams, leading transformations and moving organisations from strategy to execution across four continents and a dozen industries.
I've spent over two decades across technology, people and strategy, leading teams at TCS, Nokia, Cisco, Ericsson, Hutchison and Telstra, including five years based in Australia.
From April 2024, I worked independently across AI strategy, healthcare and medical technology projects, plus leadership and communication training.
As a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM), I've spent years developing structured communication and facilitation skills, which shape how I think about leadership and decision-making under pressure.
What I care about most: results that hold up. Clarity over complexity. People over process. I don't build hero cultures. I build repeatable systems and capable leaders who don't depend on luck to succeed.
Built and ran large-scale, 24×7 operations across telecom, cloud and managed services, improving availability from ~80% to 99.6% and leading global capability programmes for 14,000+ engineers.
Advised leadership teams on AI strategy, helping them work out direction and how to apply AI in real situations rather than in theory.
Worked closely with oncologists and hospital teams, managing patient cases directly and building a clear picture of where technology could genuinely help in cancer care. Separately worked with medical device companies on validating and positioning their technology for the Indian market.
Designed and ran leadership and communication training, working through real scenarios rather than theory, to help people negotiate better, communicate clearly and hold their ground under pressure.
