Recognized for my work in digital transformation and strategy, I am invited for talks at global conferences and esteemed universities along with panel participation. Key Speaking Themes: - Leadership - PMI Global Summit and featured guest on PM podcast with Cornelius Fichtner - AI, Digital Transformation and Domain Expertise - Women in Tech Global Summit, IIM Sirmaur and PMI Silicon Valley Chapter and Symposium - Program Management - Univ of Maryland, Santa Clara Univ, UT Dallas and PMI San Francisco My objective in these speaking engagements is to share real life experiences and domain expertise so the audience can benefit. I emphasize on story telling through examples and drawing from hands-on experiences, be it best practices that I follow in program management or technical examples on how to curate use cases for AI to gain speed and efficiency and why domain knowledge is important for it. I am free in sharing my lessons learned during ERP integration.

With deep expertise in digital transformation and strategy, I contribute as a thought leader through published blogs on AI and global project leadership and an upcoming book on AI and digital transformation and strategy. •Authored Blogs on Tech platforms Make Transformation Actionable for Engineering Teams - Change is constant and never easy. In today’s fast-paced digital world, transformation is unavoidable, yet resistance in all its forms slows progress and burdens already overworked engineering teams. This blog explores how a clever project leader can use AI-driven, persona-based communication to shield teams and move change forward. The Digital Steroid - AI + HITL + Process Mindset - Teams implementing AI and digital transformation are learning new lessons daily. One key thing observed is that domain expertise, human oversight, and careful use-case selection are all critical. So where should they begin? This blog answers that question. Project Manager - The Invisible Leader - A project manager’s role has grown more complex amid rapid technological change, global dynamics, shifting cultures, and a workforce spanning baby boomers to Gen Z. As the “invisible leader,” a project manager must guide all these variables to achieve success. This blog shares best practices for excelling in that role. Will AI force Process to become a mindset?- This post is about few of the near term realities in AI but more importantly the changes it will bring about at the workplace and will it force a process mindset within IT departments across industries? This blog answers this question. The Infinite Race: Imagining Tomorrow’s AI, Today - Human limits in creativity and imagination won’t constrain AI, which will act as a companion that continually expands what’s possible. In this blog, I share my vision of an AI-driven future and its impact on human relationships and the transformation it could bring to industries like transportation and healthcare.
