Technology is disrupting every aspect of our lives. While technology will redefine how we have imagined things, human skills of curiosity, creativity, and consistency will differentiate both people & organizations. The future belongs at the intersection of technology and people. I operate within that intersection and that is my Ikigai. Having grown up in rural India without access to reliable power, clean drinking water, and other basic needs, my purpose to empower people to believe they have the power to choose and to enable people to go beyond their self-limiting beliefs has shaped my journey as a business leader over the last two decades. In the several C-Suite roles I have held, I was responsible for & successful in driving change and leading digital transformations leveraging the power of data and innovative business models. My expertise in leadership and business transformations has been instrumental in unlocking several new streams of revenue by addressing the unarticulated needs of the customer. Having lived in 13 countries across 3 continents, I consider myself a global citizen and have positioned successfully as an innovative leader in solving complex business problems to enable reinventing organizations; creating environments of respect, inclusion & belongingness, and building cultures that embrace lifelong learning and reinvention, including programs to upskill and reskill people to meet future needs. I have a successful track record of delivering transformations in different industries and geographies covering sectors such as Power, Energy, Oil & gas, Manufacturing, and Consumer goods. I am a champion of diversity & inclusion, focusing mainly on inclusion and belongingness in organizations, and is an advocate for more women in STEM and ethnic minorities. What drives me:People and their potential to create the unimaginable. Context setting and creating psychological safety for everyone to show up as their true selves Creating a team with a growth mindset that rallies around the purpose that is beyond making profits. Core skills:Leadership, Innovation, Strategy, Engineering, Technology, New digital business areas, Product Management, Culture change
