I have effectively led both flat and hierarchical teams in large and complex organizations, comprising hundreds of employees, consultants, specialists, and vendors. By leveraging my expertise in complex program management, I have successfully delivered in evidence-based, data-driven programs. As a senior Civil Servant in the Government of India, I spearheaded high-impact initiatives in the Social Development Sector, notably the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP), positively impacting 160 million people, and the world's largest biometric-based Direct Benefit Transfer, benefiting over 8 billion recipients. These projects involved nationwide scaling, navigating complex technological landscapes, forging strategic partnerships, developing and leveraging elements of the Digital Public Infrastructure, meticulous monitoring and evaluation, as well as mentoring and capacity building. I am fascinated to work in organizations and programs that demand scalability (national/international) and strategic engagement with complex inter-sectoral challenges. Leveraging my experience in Public Policy, Foreign Policy and Telecom Policy and my expertise in strategy development, advanced analytical skills, effective communication, partnership building, and mentoring high-performing teams, I bring a unique blend of non-traditional thinking, comfort with ambiguity, and a knack for creative program development.My strong work ethic is underpinned by a rigorous and meticulously organized fitness regime, enabling me to sustain high energy levels during demanding work hours.
