Technologist by trade, leader by heart, mentor by choice – that's the essence of who I am.I'm wearing the co-founder hat at CoreOps.ai with pride. Driven by four seasoned IT experts with over a century of combined experience, CoreOps.AI is all about innovation and driving tangible business outcomes for customers. Our goal is to use deep tech to transform enterprise core systems and operations. Additionally, I serve as a Distinguished Analyst at ISG (Information Systems Group), where I engage with service providers to identify innovation agendas, which are then published as a series of research reports and thought leadership documents.With nearly four decades immersed in the ever-evolving technology landscape, I've had the honor of assembling and guiding cross-cultural, multi-geographical teams across hardware, software, and services. My leadership style, marked by strategic foresight and a blend of head, heart, and guts, has steered businesses through the transformative waves of three major tech mergers. What truly fuels my passion is the opportunity to nurture the next generation of leaders. As an executive sponsor for Dell Technologies' GenNext Employee Resource Group, I've had the privilege of championing this cause.My journey took an exhilarating turn when I bid farewell to Dell at the peak of my career as SVP, embarking on the RJ2.0 (#RJ2dot0) journey to immerse myself in startup ecosystems and mentor emerging leaders. Through advisory roles with iValue InfoSolutions, Swirl, MyMobiforce, and TechMahindra, I've played a key role in driving these companies towards scalable growth. Two years later, I caught the startup bug myself (perhaps a case of reverse mentoring), proving it's never too late to embark on a new journey!From orchestrating Global Alliances and co-creating ground-breaking solutions at Dell Technologies to driving exponential growth as President and Managing Director at EMC and NetApp, I have held numerous leadership positions at EMC, NetApp, HCL, HP, Compaq, DEC, and Wipro. I've also chaired the CII Subcommittee on Cloud Computing and served on the boards of SNIA India and the American Chamber of Commerce in India (AMCHAM). But through it all, my unwavering commitment to fostering innovation and progress remains steadfast.A proud Delhiite, I currently call Gurgaon home sweet home.
