🏆 Top Rated Plus | 95% Job Success | 17 Years | $200K+ Earned on Upwork | Al Jazeera | ESA | Vodafone | Atos | Wipro | Coforge I transform complex business challenges into strategies that are not just compelling on paper — but executed flawlessly in practice. From delivering a €0.7M revenue-generating strategy engagement for Groupe INVIVO (France), to space sector consulting for the European Space Agency (ESA-ESTEC) in the Netherlands, enterprise programme delivery at _VOIS (Vodafone) and Coforge, and driving strategic programmes at Al Jazeera — I have operated at the highest levels of institutional and corporate consulting across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME I sit at a rare intersection: an Engineering foundation (B.E., University of Pune) combined with an MBA in Strategy, Consulting & Innovation (Neoma Business School, France). This means I bring both the strategic vision to identify the right problems and the technical depth to implement solutions that actually work. WHAT I DELIVER → Strategy & Management Consulting: Market entry, competitive intelligence, transformation roadmaps, and strategic planning for corporates, SMEs, and VC-backed startups. → Program & Portfolio Management: PMP® and PSM I certified end-to-end delivery across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies. I manage complexity so you don’t have to. → Market Research & Intelligence: Primary and secondary research, consumer insights, competitive benchmarking, and actionable GTM recommendations grounded in data. → Business Planning & Financial Modeling: Investor-ready business plans, three-statement financial models, and pitch materials that have secured funding across multiple client engagements. → Enterprise Digital Transformation (OpenText ECM): One of Upwork’s few specialists in OpenText Content Server, Archive Server, and Extended ECM Suite — bringing enterprise-grade content management expertise most consultants simply don’t have. MY TRACK RECORD ✔ 64 successfully completed engagements — 95% Job Success Score, 0 negative outcomes ✔ Strategic consulting for the European Space Agency (ESA-ESTEC), Netherlands — recommendations tabled to the ESA Governing Council ✔ Project Delivery Manager at VOIS — Vodafone Intelligent Solutions (Jan 2020–May 2021) — led enterprise-scale Agile programme delivery across Vodafone’s global shared services organisation ✔ Senior Program Manager at Al Jazeera (March 2024–Present) — driving complex, multi-stakeholder media programs at one of the world's most recognised global news organisations ✔ Technology Analyst at Atos (Sept 2009–Feb 2012) — enterprise technology foundation at a major European IT services group; built deep expertise in ECM, systems integration, and enterprise architecture that underpins all subsequent consulting and delivery work ✔ Project Lead at Mphasis (Jan 2014–Apr 2019) — 5 years in HP-backed enterprise IT, specialising in BFSI technology and complex programme delivery ✔ Strategy Consultant at Groupe INVIVO (France, Mar–Jun 2013) — delivered an organisational and strategic consulting engagement for a leading French multinational in animal health and nutrition, directly generating €0.7 million in revenues for their international service division ✔ Project Delivery Manager at Coforge (May 2021–Feb 2022) — enterprise IT programme delivery ✔ Architect at Wipro (June–Dec 2019) — enterprise solutions architecture and technology consulting ✔ Top Rated Plus for 6 consecutive years — Top 2% of global Upwork talent MY APPROACH I don’t deliver reports that gather dust. I bring structured frameworks, hypothesis-driven analysis, data-driven rigor, and a relentless bias toward implementation. Every engagement starts with a clear understanding of your business objective, your stakeholders, and your definition of success — and ends with deliverables you can act on the same day.
