I operate at the intersection of commercial strategy and cutting-edge enterprise AI and digital technology.

Currently steering the Digital Experience Practice for Infosys ANZ, I bring over 19 years of global experience (APAC, US, MEA) across leading Product, Consulting, and GSI organizations, where I have consistently driven scale, market expansion, and top-line growth for Fortune 500 enterprises.

A proven P&L leader and C-suite advisor, I accelerate net-new logo acquisition and wallet share expansion across the BFSI, Telecom, and Retail sectors. I excel at translating commercial visions into actionable AI, automation, outsourcing, digital transformation roadmaps and strategies that maximize top-line revenue.

To deliver these outcomes, I architect future-ready transformations across three core pillars:

Applied AI: GenAI, Agentic AI, and Conversational AI.
Digital Experience: DXP, Digital Marketing, MarTech, MACH & Agentic Commerce.
Intelligent Automation: DPA, BPM, RPA, and Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC).

Prior to my current mandate, I held executive leadership roles at NRI Australia (formerly ASG Group), Newgen, and HCL Technologies, navigating the entire enterprise lifecycle from complex consulting and enterprise sales to global practice development.

about:
Chief Transformation Officer at Carr, Riggs & Ingram (CRI) — enterprise transformation leader focused on accelerating growth, embedding AI, and modernizing operating models to drive measurable value.

I lead firm-wide transformation across strategy execution, performance management, and digital enablement, partnering with leadership to scale high-impact initiatives and build a modern, data-driven organization.

Previously, I served as Senior Director of Transformation at Teradata, co-leading a global transformation to establish the company as a leading cloud and AI analytics provider — helping set enterprise strategy and execute large-scale change to support the company’s growth toward $1B in cloud ARR.

Earlier in my career at McKinsey & Company, I led large-scale transformation and strategy engagements including multi-billion-dollar cost transformations, core system modernizations, and enterprise operating model redesigns.

I’ve also held leadership roles across Capital One, Whole Foods Market, PAE, Lockheed Martin, and Morgan Stanley, bringing deep experience across strategy, finance, operations, and performance improvement.

I hold an MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, am a Certified FP&A Professional and U.S. Army veteran, and have led and delivered work across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. I’m also a co-author of a World Economic Forum white paper on digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
