about:
I am an experienced Global Managed Services Provider within IT and Financial Services. Currently, I serve as Director of Client Engagement within Financial Services at Turnberry Solutions. My professional journey began in the United States Army, where I gained Top Secret Security Clearance and spent over six years developing expertise in signal systems intelligence, signal communications, and international relationship management.

Following my service as an Army Signal Intelligence soldier, I deepened my knowledge of information technology and intelligence at the University of Central Florida.

about:
I am a results-oriented strategy consultant with a proven track record in delivering high-impact business solutions across global clients in FMCG, chemicals, logistics, and education sectors. With 2+ years of experience at Bain & Company and BlinC Invest, and currently working as a Consultant at KPMG, I specialize in operations excellence, market entry, and ESG-driven transformation.

At Bain, I led full potential cost diagnostic projects that generated 10–30% savings for clients, conducted post-merger synergy analysis, and helped assess carbon footprints using ESG frameworks like Exiobase and Ecoinvent. I also authored Bain Global Reports on topics including renewable energy, India’s trillion-dollar export economy, and the national budget.

As an Investment Analyst at BlinC Invest, I developed the business model and GTM strategy for a new IB school in Mumbai. This involved benchmarking 120+ schools, surveying 130+ parents and students, and identifying white spaces across 239 IB programs nationwide.

I hold a dual degree in management — PGDM from MDI Gurgaon (Top 5 in batch, Dean’s Merit List) and Master in Management from ESCP Business School, France. My academic foundation in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from NSIT Delhi, along with certifications like CFA Level II (candidate), Six Sigma, and Agile in Jira, equips me to blend strategic thinking with technical precision.

Technically proficient in Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau, Alteryx, and Power BI, I thrive on data-backed decision-making, cross-functional collaboration, and execution under pressure. I bring a mission-mode workstyle, strong stakeholder management skills, and a passion for solving real-world business problems at scale.

about:
I’m a CSPO®-certified Product Owner with nearly 5 years of experience building and delivering enterprise SaaS, AI-powered, healthcare, and digital products. My strength lies in connecting customer problems, business priorities, and technology to turn complex requirements into scalable product solutions.

I’ve progressed from Business Analyst to Product Owner, building end-to-end experience across the product lifecycle — from discovery and roadmap planning to backlog prioritization, Agile delivery, UAT, release management, and continuous product improvement.

I work closely with Engineering, UX, QA, Solution Architects, Product Managers, and business stakeholders to define product requirements, prioritize features, write epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications, and drive predictable delivery.

Career Highlights:
 • Owned product roadmaps and backlogs across multiple AI-powered product initiatives
 • Delivered 8+ enterprise product releases, contributing to a 20% improvement in release velocity
 • Reduced requirement ambiguity by 30% through stronger discovery, stakeholder alignment, and requirement quality
 • Prioritized 30+ product enhancements based on customer feedback, business value, and product strategy
 • Partnered with Fortune 500 customers on scalable enterprise SaaS products
 • Recognized with 2× Star Performer Awards and a Key Contributor Award for product delivery and cross-functional collaboration

My product experience spans Enterprise Search, AI-powered solutions, Healthcare, Web3, FinTech, and EdTech, with exposure to AI/ML, Generative AI, intelligent workflows, automation, enterprise search, REST APIs, and system integrations.

I’m making a shift "from a Product Owner who uses AI to an AI Product Owner".
For a long time, AI was mainly my productivity layer.

I used tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable, Replit, Manus, Gamma, and others to research faster, prototype ideas, create product artefacts, and automate repetitive work.

But the more I worked with AI-powered products, the more I realised:

Working on an AI-powered healthcare product changed one thing for me.

I realized that users don't care how advanced the AI is—they care whether they can trust it.

The best product discussions weren't about LLMs or automation. They were about making workflows simpler, reducing manual effort, and helping users make better decisions with confidence.

That's what excites me about AI in healthcare. I

The best Product Owners I’ve worked with don’t start with features. They start with clarity.

Working across AI-powered and enterprise products has reinforced one thing for me: a long backlog doesn’t necessarily mean we’re solving the right problems.

Before adding something to the roadmap, I try to step back and ask:
 → What problem are we actually solving?
 → Who is experiencing it?
 → Is this t

Most people think Product Owners spend their day writing user stories and attending Scrum meetings.

- Some days, you're helping unblock the team. Other days, you're

about:
I’m a Partner at KPMG in Canada helping organizations manage cyber, privacy, and technology risk — while enabling practical, scalable GenAI adoption across the workforce.

I work with CISOs, 2nd line technology/cyber risk leaders, and 3rd line audit teams to build programs that stand up to scrutiny and drive outcomes. In private capital (pension funds and private equity), I support the full investment lifecycle — transaction diligence, value creation, and exit. In financial services and the Ontario public sector, I help leaders modernize risk programs and operationalize GenAI across the enterprise.

My core work spans cyber security, privacy, and third-party / vendor risk (TPRM) through assessment-led programs, co-sourced delivery, and managed services — including control testing, monitoring, and execution at scale. I help leaders move from assessments to transformation through portfolio-wide programs, multi-year roadmaps, and capability building (people, process, and technology).

I regularly work with boards and senior executives to simplify cyber, privacy, and technology risk into business terms — using clear KPIs/KRIs to support informed, value-and-risk-based decisions.

If you’re looking to scale GenAI without creating unmanaged cyber/privacy risk — or need a trusted partner from diligence through exit — happy to connect.
