headline: Global Head - AI Model Training and Data Services @ Cognizant

about:
I’m an executive technology leader operating at the intersection of AI , large‑scale digital transformation, and business value creation.

With over two decades of global experience, I recently stepped into an enterprise role to lead Cognizant’s AI division for IOA—driving AI business across industries and geographies. Prior to this, between 2014-15, I lead the AI organization for Cognizant’s BFSI business—where I built an end‑to‑end AI‑driven operating model within a year, laying the foundation for people, processes, platforms, solutions, and strategic ecosystem partnerships.

I have led organizations that have successfully productized AI, including GenAI and agentic workflows, operating above and below the traditional application layer. My work spans digital twins and process intelligence, platform and service foundations, model evaluation and reliability, and the practical constraints of deploying AI into production—especially in real‑time conversational and agentic systems where latency, orchestration, and quality trade‑offs directly impact customer experience.

I have built and scaled multi‑billion‑dollar digital and technology portfolios, advised C‑suite and board‑level leaders on AI and data strategy, and supported enterprises in adopting AI responsibly and at scale.

My academic foundation in AI and Blockchain includes a PhD focused on Human Digital Twins. I’ve co‑authored research papers with global executives and published six award‑winning books on Digital Transformation and Consultative Selling.

Before Cognizant, I led the UKI, Benelux, and France business for HCL Digital, overseeing data, analytics, cloud, and digital transformation business.

I also serve as a research scholar and advisor to emerging AI startups, shaping product strategy and operating
