Senior leader with illustrious career in banking/financial markets, software product management & solutions development
India
My career spans 4 years of development action among rural and under privileged communities, 12 years in banking industry/financial markets and last 7 years in software applications.
My leadership experience in institution building, solutions design & delivery and business development comes from these 3 different sectors, where I was involved in setting up:
- a voluntary/non-government development organisation in an underdeveloped region,
- a large banking start up with leadership in financial markets at a time when Indian economy was opening up, liberalising and beginning to integrate with the global economy
- a full function multi-product arm of a large software MNC, turning around the "offshore labour arbitrage mindset" into a strategic solutions development location that creates significant sharehlder value.
In my recent roles in the software industry, I have gained experience in the area of product strategy and investments, go to market program management, product lifecycle & portfolio management, partnerships/alliances, M&A, solutions consulting, professional services, domain competency building/business analysis, software development operations, resource management/capacity planning, global sourcing and location strategy.
