Raj Waghray’s Summary
I am currently on a short sabbatical from the IT Industry and volunteering my time with the Art of Living Foundation, doing several exciting things - I teach the Art of Living's APEX program for the Corporates, the hugely popular Part 1 program for general public and devote my time towards social causes and projects that the Foundation undertakes.
I have over 16 years of experience in the IT industry and have grown through the ranks to a leadership position leading large teams. I have a strong technology background coupled with strong program and project management experience.
I have managed multiple large, risky and complex internet based application development projects for global customers in various domains such as Information, Media, Print and Publishing, Life Sciences, Travel and Hospitality. I am a trained life coach and have leveraged my people skills to build strong teams at work.
In my last role at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I was leading the Technology Consulting Group within the Information and Media (IME) Vertical at Bangalore center.
I have certifications in Project Management from PMI (2002 - 2005) and am also a Certified TOGAF Enterprise Architect (2008).
