About Suraj Parab

I am a performance-driven Project & Program Management Leader with nearly 12 years of experience delivering business transformation, operational excellence, and large-scale project portfolio management across manufacturing, engineering, and global business services. My expertise lies in building governance frameworks, driving NPI and transition projects, optimizing processes, and leading PMO functions that align with organizational strategy. Currently, as Assistant Manager – Program Management at Flextronics India, I spearhead PMO initiatives, lead cross-functional governance reviews, and deliver executive-level reporting that supports data-driven decision-making. I have successfully established standardized project management methodologies (using Jira, Power Apps, and MS Project), introduced automation-led efficiencies, and improved delivery consistency by 30%. Some of my key achievements include: PMO Leadership & Governance – Built and scaled the department’s PMO framework, introducing structured charters, one-pagers, and project plans that enhanced project execution and stakeholder confidence. Operational Excellence – Reduced budget overspend by 10%, achieved annual savings equivalent to 15 FTEs, and optimized utilization, service penetration, and automation benefits through continuous improvement. Program Management – Led end-to-end NPI/Design programs, transition projects, and compliance initiatives, ensuring seamless execution while minimizing delivery risks by 20%. Recognition – Honored with multiple organizational awards, including the Above and Beyond Award (by CIO), Platinum Award for Launch Process Execution, and a spot on the GBS India Wall of Fame. Earlier in my career, I gained hands-on experience in engineering project management with WMI Konecranes (Pune), where I led large-scale crane installation, commissioning, and client delivery projects. This engineering foundation gave me a strong grounding in project lifecycle management, risk assessment, and stakeholder engagement. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution, enabling organizations to achieve measurable outcomes in project delivery, financial compliance, and digital transformation. Known for building trust with stakeholders and driving collaborative execution, I bring a balance of technical expertise, analytical rigor, and leadership.
