Available to hire
I have never followed a straight path because I believe real impact isn’t just about managing projects, it’s about building the people who build the future. My journey begins with my foundation as an alumnus of IIT Bombay, where I have spent over a decade mentoring students. This passion evolved into one of my proudest achievements: co-founding an AI startup alongside my own mentee, and serving as a strategic partner to help launch ventures. When a close friend needed to establish a medical clinic in the US, I designed the operational roadmap, managed vendors, and set up compliance systems that allowed the practice to launch and thrive. These entrepreneurial ventures sit alongside my 18 years of experience as a PMP and CBAP-certified Senior Project Manager handling high-stakes global initiatives across government, navy, and defense sectors, including multi-country digital transformations. I bridge traditional management with emerging tech, applying Generative AI and prompt engineering to drive early-stage product innovation and modernize operations. With full authorization to work in Canada, I am eager to bring this experience to new opportunities.
I have lived and worked across India, the US, Italy, and Germany, navigating complex global environments with strict budgets and joint ventures where precision is non-negotiable. My focus now is to scale impact by aligning strategic vision with practical execution, mentoring teams, and leveraging AI to accelerate growth and efficiency.
