With over 20+ years of IT and digital transformation experience, I have worked as a highly skilled Senior Digital Program Manager, SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE), Technology Solution Manager, Agile Coach, and Business Analyst, partnering with leading global organizations such as IKEA Sweden, IBM Global, Decathlon IT, Cushman & Wakefield, Jumio Corporation, and more recently with Ragu AI on enterprise AI platform delivery. I am also designated with the Top Talent badge on Upwork, placing me among the top 3% of freelancers, with 6,000+ hours of successful delivery across global clients and complex digital transformation programs. I am proud to be a University Gold Medalist, blogger, and keynote speaker, and I bring strong expertise in managing complex, business-critical programs across domains, distributed teams, and multiple geographies. Over the years, I have been recognized multiple times as a star performer by C-suite stakeholders for my delivery leadership, stakeholder management, and ability to build alignment across business and technology teams. I also bring solid hands-on experience across Gantt, ClickUp, Jira (including Advanced Roadmaps), Monday, Slack, and Confluence, with over 10 years of usage across enterprise delivery environments. On the technology side, I have worked closely with teams across Python, Java, React, and C++, and have also led delivery initiatives involving Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. Recent AI / Enterprise Delivery Experience Ragu AI – Enterprise AI Platform Delivery Most recently, I have been leading delivery and product operations for an enterprise AI platform focused on knowledge-grounded assistants and a multi-tenant SaaS architecture. My responsibilities include roadmap execution, sprint planning, engineering governance, stakeholder management, and cross-functional delivery across platform hardening, AI capabilities, DevOps, and customer onboarding initiatives. I have been driving the implementation of scalable AI workflows, enterprise integrations, delivery processes, and governance mechanisms to support secure, production-ready deployments and multi-client rollouts of AI-powered solutions. Cushman & Wakefield – Digital Transformation / Product & Program Delivery At Cushman & Wakefield, I have been involved in enterprise product and digital transformation initiatives, working closely with stakeholders on technology delivery, AI-led solution discussions, workflow/process improvements, roadmap planning, and execution governance. My work has included coordinating across business teams, engineering, and leadership to drive delivery alignment, streamline operational processes, and support the rollout of strategic product and technology initiatives in a complex enterprise environment. Project Achievements I am particularly proud of two major digital initiatives at Decathlon India, where I led the complete software engineering workflow and product rollout from scratch for Decathlon App and AllForSport. Building a social network and sports engagement platform was new for Decathlon and represented an important step in their omnichannel transformation journey. The initiative involved significant ambiguity, evolving business requirements, and continuous prioritization of what would deliver the most impact. I played a key role in defining business requirements, creating use cases, right-scoping launches, managing Agile delivery, and coordinating with third-party integrators and support systems. Over the course of one year, we successfully launched 4 major and 6 minor releases, delivering measurable business outcomes: 30% improvement in team lead time / productivity 10,000+ app downloads Peak sales revenue of USD 30,000/day App rating above 4.5 40,000+ registered users 30% repeat customers 1,000+ activities hosted on the platform This was a significant milestone in Decathlon’s digital and online revenue journey, especially during the Covid period, as the company accelerated its transition toward scalable omnichannel and community-led digital experiences. Across my career, I have consistently operated at the intersection of business strategy, product delivery, Agile execution, stakeholder management, and technology leadership. I am comfortable stepping into roles that require program setup, delivery governance, backlog and roadmap planning, client communication, process optimization, vendor coordination, and driving execution across globally distributed teams. My ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery execution allows me to quickly add value in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments.
