About Me
A business IT Leader with 3 decades of experience in leading digital journey for many large enterprises including two leading Fortune 50 CPG companies in Asia, Coca-Cola and P&G.
During my career, I led digital disruption for Consumer, Sales, and Supply Chain using Cloud, Data, AI, and Mobile technology as core enablers. I helped unleash category growth with sharper digital marketing capabilities and increased distribution with various digital go-to-market innovative products.
Investments in these technologies were made possible with "intentional" interventions for organization simplification that delivered productivity each year with digital solutions.
These digital disruptions include intentional choice of technology and skills in Data Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and front-end automation to create sales and data platforms. I've enabled every persona—be it Sales rep, Merchandiser in the store, Category Manager, or Sales Leaders in the office—with data-based decisions needed to win in every category with every customer and stores across more than 100 Country Categories in Asia, Middle East, and Africa region.
