IT leader with 25 years of experience in the IT services & consulting industry across EMEA, NA, UK and APAC geographies in multiple functions from s/w engineer to Program / IT director. I lead a 150–200-person high-performance team by listening, mentoring, trusting and empowering virtually across four time zones owning a business portfolio P&L of USD 80-100m. I have successfully delivered complex business transformation initiatives like M&A integrations, multi-country IT implementations, SSC/back-office setup & consolidation, and application digitalization against aggressive timelines. I have a demonstrable track record of aligning the business strategies of CEO/CFO with suitable IT / IS strategy, assisting top line growth (3%) as well as business efficiencies for improving the bottom line (up to 40%). Outside of work, I am a trained Indian classical musician & performer.
