about:
As a strategist with over 15 years of consulting experience, I advise senior management on new business models that generate large-scale economic and social/environmental benefits —harnessing and evaluating AI as a force for both.

At Accenture, I serve as AI Reinvention Lead for two of our largest Life Science client accounts to drive AI enablement and adoption, bringing AI-assisted efficiencies within $100M+ SAP transformations et al. I personally enjoy hands-on work with low/no-code tech solutions, MCP integrations, and n8n vibe-coded process automations. In parallel, I serve as European Lead for Sustainability in AI, Life Science and Financial Services, overseeing business across strategy & innovation, processes & reorganizations, AI & technology.

Throughout my career I have worked across continents with large corporates and foundations in pharma/life science, real estate, consumer goods, and financial services including impact investing. A thread across all of it: using technology and behavioral insight to align economic incentives with social and environmental outcomes.

I publish and speak frequently on these topics — from AI mgmt seminars with partners like Econsense, EHL Lausanne and WBCSD, to publications in Institutional Investor on Hybrid Metrics for profitable impact, and Harvard Business Review on Incentivizing Disease Prevention through Behavioral Science, co-authored with the CEOs of IAG and Discovery Insurance.

about:
Simran Bansal is a digital transformation consultant embedded at Mantralaya, the Maharashtra state secretariat, where she works with the Department of Information Technology on some of India's most consequential technology policy initiatives.

Her current work spans the Maharashtra AI Policy framework, AI Centres of Excellence across Navi Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur, the India AI Impact Summit (presented to the Chief Minister and routed to the Prime Minister's Office), and TECH-वारी 2.0 — a five-day digital governance programme that brought leaders from Google, IBM, Microsoft, Meta, and IIT Bombay under one roof at Mantralaya.

Before government, she spent two years at EY implementing SAP finance solutions for large enterprise clients across APAC and EMEA, then completed an MSc in Finance at Imperial College London. She later architected ERP finance systems for mid-market M&A at APPNWEB Technologies, supporting C-suite stakeholders through post-acquisition financial integration.

In 2024, she founded CareerBridge Pro to solve a problem she had seen firsthand: talented mid-career professionals losing months to job searches they could have won in weeks. The practice is built on one principle that precision beats volume, every time.

She holds an integrated MBA-Tech and B.Tech in Computer Engineering from NMIMS, where she graduated in the top 5% of her class.

headline: Technology Executive | AI, Data & Cloud Transformation | Digital Platforms | Enterprise Architecture | MAICD

about:
I lead large-scale digital transformation programs at Woolworths Group, one of Australia's largest technology organisations with 4,000+ technology professionals and over 90% cloud adoption. My portfolio spans platform engineering, AI-driven store experiences, IoT, payments integration, and enterprise API architecture - delivering technology that serves millions ofcustomers across 2,000+ stores daily.

Over the past decade at Woolworths, I have built and scaled the enterprise API platform from 17 services to 7,500+, processing billions of transactions annually. I led the Scan&Go program from proof-of-concept to a $550M+ annual revenue channel with 82-88% customer satisfaction. I manage a $75M annual technology investment portfolio, lead teams of 250+ across multiple vendor partnerships, and drive 100+ production releases per year with 99.9% platform availability.

My approach to technology leadership sits at the intersection of three perspectives: the opportunity lens (where AI and data create new value), the builder lens (how platforms scale reliably at enterprise level), and the accountability lens (what governance, ethics, and risk frameworks must be in place). This combination - shaped by MIT Sloan's AI Innovation & Strategy program, AICD's Foundations of Directorship, and 21+ years of hands-on enterprise delivery - is what I bring to every decision.

I am passionate about building technology that transforms how customers experience online and physical retail. Whether it is smart trolleys, digital shelf-edge,self-checkout platforms, or AI-powered operational insights, I believe the next wave of retail innovation lives at the intersection of physical stores and intelligent technology.

I am a great believer that in any business, in any market, in any Geo, companies need to transform themselves to future proof their clients/employees experience (Human@center), their products, services and business models (Innovation@scale), as well as their IT stack and organization (Tech@speed).
These transformations can be initiated by an experience problem (my client are dissatisfied and leaving to competition), or a business problem (segment, market share, value, margin...), a functional efficiency issue (Sales, Marketing, Finance ...) or a Tech enabling problem (the current tech stack does not enable the new experience for example). Or all of the above.

I am a digital content and enablement leader with more than 25 years of experience supporting enterprise organizations through content strategy, execution, and operational discipline. My work sits at the intersection of digital platforms, business objectives, and regulated environments, where clarity, accuracy, and speed all matter.

In my current role, I lead content strategy and execution supporting an annual book of business exceeding $80 million. I work closely with sales leadership, operations, and delivery teams to ensure messaging is consistent, relevant, and effective across client-facing and internal channels. This includes social and LinkedIn strategy, sales enablement, website content, campaign development, and event-driven marketing.

I am highly proficient in the practical use of artificial intelligence to support content creation across written, visual, and video formats. I design and refine prompts to improve efficiency, consistency, and quality while maintaining editorial judgment, brand standards, and governance. I view AI as a tool that enhances strong content fundamentals rather than replacing them.

Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles across marketing operations, compliance, and audit functions within healthcare and insurance organizations. That experience continues to shape how I approach digital work today, with an emphasis on risk awareness, scalability, and execution that can withstand scrutiny.

I thrive in environments where strategy and delivery must work together, helping teams translate ideas into content systems that support growth, alignment, and long-term value.
