Executive Overview

30 years ago, I wrote my first line of ERP code. Today I close eight-figure transformation deals. The gap between those two points is the value I bring to your program. I am a business transformation executive and trusted advisor who operates at the intersection of enterprise strategy and hands-on delivery. My work sits where the boardroom meets the architecture diagram — translating complex AI, Agentic, and platform initiatives into funded, governed, revenue-generating programs. What I do best: I architect and lead end-to-end enterprise transformations — from deal origination and presales through program governance and hyper-care. I have done this across Retail, Manufacturing, Consumer Goods, Fashion/Apparel, Food Retail, and Hi-Tech, working with global majors including IKEA/Ingka Group, ArcelorMittal, TAL Apparel, SPAR, and Landmark Group. Where I add non-linear value:AI & Agentic Architecture — Designing solutions for enterprise-grade agentic platforms (Mphasis Tria™) and ADLC transformations that embed AI across the software delivery lifecycle, not just as a bolt-on.SAP S/4HANA & ERP Transformations — Full-cycle ERP strategy, rollout, and CoE design across SAP, Oracle, Infor M3, BlueYonder, and ServiceNow in multi-country, multi-shore environments.GCC & Global Delivery — Founding and scaling Global Capability Centers; building cross-functional delivery teams across India, EMEA, APAC, and North America.Strategic Presales & Deal Architecture — Leading large deal pursuits, RFx responses, solution positioning, and go-to-market for $400M+ verticals.Digital Platform Strategy — Cloud transformation (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS), omnichannel commerce, supply chain intelligence, and data/analytics platforms (Snowflake, SAP BW/SAC). How I work:I operate as a servant leader who invests in talent, builds inclusive cross-functional teams, and drives innovation through structured execution. I have held roles across Mphasis, ArcelorMittal Digital Consulting, IKEA/Ingka Group, Fujitsu, Infor, Tech Mahindra, and Satyam — spanning presales, consulting, delivery, and P&L ownership.
