Principal Enterprise Architect @ SharkNinja

About

I am an explorer and problem solver who enjoys rolling up my sleeves to collaborate with smart, passionate, and inspiring individuals to tackle challenging issues. I thrive in uncertain environments due to my curiosity, entrepreneurial nature, nimbleness, perseverance, and comfort with discomfort. Also, I am a big proponent of Purpose. Having a clear sense of Purpose gives our lives meaning and direction. I have accumulated two decades of diverse global leadership experience, spanning strategy, planning, and transformation in Digital/Technology, Supply Chain, and Operations across industries such as CPG, Tech, Manufacturing, Retail, and EPC. This breadth and depth of experience have equipped me with a unique perspective and the ability to drive growth, improve efficiency, and optimize costs in organizations. When not working, I spend time with my family, play and watch tennis to gratify my sports instinct and explore Space Science, Tech, Finance, and Economics to quench my curiosity.
