I am a problem solver, by passion. I love to get my teeth into tough challenges that I do my best to solve. In this, I am enabled by my strong analytical skills and my ability to develop solutions at the "forest and trees levels" simultaneously.
I am a Computer Software engineer by education, and a Project Management consultant by profession, with more than 30 years of industry experience, working with large corporates like Boeing, IBM, and TCS. During my corporate stint, I was working with senior executives at IBM and then at Boeing, with the last engagement working for the President of Boeing IMEA.
As an outcome of my corporate work experience, I have developed deep skills in complex project management, outsourcing, program & portfolio management, resource & people management, process engineering.
For the past 5+ years, I have been working on my Startup, and have recently launched the product in India. During this stint, I have also built strong skills in startups & entrepreneurship, digital marketing, growth hacking, market research, etc.
I have started writing and publishing blog posts & articles via my own blog and via social media primarily about my own ventures, around 6 years ago. My forte is writing structured and insightful articles with depth, the intent being to position your skills and brand appropriately.
