I’ve built my career around making complex operations simpler, faster, and more scalable. At EMC, I led a finance process optimization across APJ, saving $5M.

Earlier, at GE Card Services, I transitioned key processes from the US to India, automating workflows and eliminating backlogs, delivering $2M in benefits. My strength lies in connecting the dots across business, IT, and finance. I’ve partnered across functions to design governance models, align global KPIs, and build high-performing teams that thrive in change-heavy environments. Along the way, I’ve earned awards like GE’s Extra Miler and Best Performer, but more importantly, built teams that deliver and stay. Whether it’s change management, continuous improvement, or stakeholder alignment across time zones, I stay focused on execution, visibility, and impact. I bring financial acumen, systems thinking, and people-first leadership to senior roles that need both strategic direction and hands-on delivery. Now exploring senior leadership roles in service delivery, enterprise operations, and transformation programs where I can drive scale, efficiency, and business value.
