An accomplished technology executive with 20+ years experience in building, selling, consulting, and operating information and digital technology products and solutions for Fortune 100 companies. Seasoned in aligning people, process, systems and budget to effect disruptive changes that focus on maturing transformational and cutting-edge technologies, optimize their value and speed-to-market to enhance competitive position. Experience working in multiple countries (US, India, Germany, Sweden, China), and have led teams spanning multiple locations in US, Switzerland, India and Malaysia, building strong relationships with people of various cultural, social, economic and generational backgrounds. Well-refined in forging strategic partnerships with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, and have a great track record of developing and retaining top talent to foster a strong culture of innovation and excellence. While I am passionate about learning and advancing technology at work, I adore spending time with my wonderful family off work. In my free time, I love to play cricket in the fields of Atlanta or in my hallway over VR, and dabble in ping-pong or chess when I have the right company. I like to watch and analyze movies and streaming shows especially of the mystery/sci-fi/fantasy/comedy genres and have an affinity for witty sitcoms of any decade. I also love to read up on mountaineering, philosophy and architecture, travel, cook rarely-found-in-restaurant type of Indian food, and occasionally practice my vocals to stay in touch with my college band past, even if it sometimes tests the patience of my family.
