I help enterprises grow, transform, and win in moments that actually matter—when complexity is high, stakes are real, and execution can’t fail. I’m a senior executive with 25+ years leading growth, transformation, and innovation across consulting, advisory, enterprise sales, and global delivery. My career spans Big 4 leadership, Fortune 1000 advisory, PE-backed transformation, and entrepreneurship—always with a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves mindset. Over the years, I’ve: • Closed $4B+ in total contract value across managed services, BPO, ITO, and BPaaS • Built and scaled global organizations from 20 to 2,000+ professionals • Led complex, multi-tower deals across applications, infrastructure, cloud, data, and business process services • Served as a trusted advisor to C-suite leaders navigating large-scale operating and digital transformation My core strength sits at the intersection of strategy and execution—designing GTM and capability strategies, shaping and closing complex pursuits, and embedding AI, automation, and emerging technologies into real operating models that deliver outcomes (not hype). I’m also an entrepreneur at heart. I founded, scaled, and successfully exited a global hybrid ITO/BPO firm with 1,500+ employees, which gave me a delivery-grounded perspective that deeply informs how I sell, advise, and lead today. Beyond client work, I’m an innovation evangelist and public speaker. I host NextGen Ninja, an innovation-driven platform where I spotlight global technology leaders shaping the future of work, business, and humanity in an AI-native world. I frequently advise and speak on: • The Future of Work & AI • Enterprise & Entrepreneurial Thinking at Scale • Disruption Readiness and Zero-Complacency Operating Models • Managed Services, Automation, and Digital Operating Models At my core, I’m a builder, connector, and lifelong learner—driven by curiosity, optimism, and a belief that organizations can move faster, smarter, and more human-centric when strategy and execution are truly aligned. If you’re navigating growth, transformation, or disruption—and want a practical, battle-tested perspective—I’m always open to the conversation.
