Technology and business transformation leader with 20+ years in financial services, delivering outcomes across technology, people, and business.

I’ve delivered multiple high-impact projects, including a solution that generated multi-million dollar inflows within a month, an analytics platform that identified billion-dollar leads, and automation that drove multi-million dollar cost savings.

Having worked across multiple business units with distinct cultures and domains, and completed assignments across US and Ireland, I bring adaptability and versatility equivalent to working across several organizations. I engage with CXO-level stakeholders, influencing strategy and business decisions.

I’ve also scaled global capability, leading knowledge transfer and delivery transitions between India, Ireland, and the US. An INSEAD ILPSE graduate (2025), I combine strategic and general management expertise with hands-on technical credibility - passionate about building organizations that scale, innovate, and deliver measurable outcomes for the enterprise.
