With over 20 years of unwavering dedication to the IT & Telecom industry, I have consistently proven myself as a results-driven business leader. My journey is defined by a commitment to high ethical standards and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

I’ve had the privilege of shaping success stories across various domains:

  • Multicultural Leadership: Building and leading multicultural, global sales, account management, and marketing teams has been at the core of my career. This experience has honed my ability to navigate the complexities of a diverse global landscape.

  • Global Strategy Architect: Crafting and executing go-to-market strategies spanning the Americas, EMEA, and APJI regions has been instrumental in driving substantial growth and profitability for organizations I’ve had the privilege to serve.

  • Driving Transformation: At Tech Mahindra, as the Head of Global Sales Enablement and Growth, I took the helm of a $533 million USD P&L and orchestrated enablement strategies that not only drove sales but also transformed the very essence of how we do business.

  • Strategic Growth and Innovation: Define and execute transformative growth strategies aligned with market demands and organizational goals, driving revenue and market share expansion. Spearheading initiatives to identify and capitalize on emerging growth areas, untapped markets, and next-generation technologies, including the successful launch of the Autonomous Operations offering, securing a $65M order within its first month.

  • Digital Innovation: My tenure at Tata Communications saw me create a digital sales and account management engine from the ground up to highest performing yet lowest CTS business unit. This digital transformation laid the foundation for a strong digital presence and heightened brand awareness.

  • Consistent Excellence: The accolade of being a consistent CEO Club achiever reflects my ability to consistently surpass AOP goals, with an average annual achievement of 157% over the past 5 years. What’s more, maintaining an impressive 96% NPS and 98% ESAT scores underscores my unwavering commitment to customer & employee satisfaction.

However, my journey doesn’t end with past achievements. It’s about the relentless pursuit of innovation and growth. As a Google and Salesforce certified professional, I have successfully led and managed multiple digital sales and marketing initiatives across diverse regions and segments, delivering significant results and ROI.

I am driven by an insatiable appetite for learning, collaborating with diverse teams, and contributing to the mission and vision of organizations. My ethos is deeply rooted in empowering and developing people, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation, and creating value for all stakeholders.
