About

Over 13 years of experience in Construction, Mining, Energy, Transportation & Automotive industries managing several tangible and intangible global projects involving stakeholders & team members across the company & outside in the capacity of a Team leader. I would like to work in a fast-paced environment where the stakes are high & requires quick decision making & execution. Take up challenges that are in the un-chartered territory and where it is expected to create strategy as we go. Deliver high visibility projects which are core to achieve goals of Top management. High priority projects really excites me where I am expected to walk into a situation to turn it around in a limited cost/ time.
