Business Leadership from Strategy to Measureable, Outcome-
based Execution
“Pursuing the next generation value potential and possibilities amidst the new-age and
unconventionally evolving socio-political-behavioural landscape by comingling traditional and
contemporary Information Technology capabilities with the knowledge and learning from History,
Social Science and Liberal Arts through the lens of abstracts, intrigue and reason, a fearless inquiry,
a compelling journey beyond the obvious and known onto known-unknowns”

Potential Value Match:
Drawing on my skills, experiences, curiosity and passion; imagineering the possibilities and potential of
technologies cross-pollinated with the teachings and knowledge from history, social science and liberal arts,
contrasting against the challenges and opportunities of the present and the unfolding, I list the following
scenarios as some of the potential areas where I can bring distinct value:
• Pursuit of deeper and more insightful understanding of human behaviour pan varying classifications /
demography / persuasions and developments, with requisite skill with judicious application of
learning from history, behavioural economics, anthropology, ethnography, psychology and more;
leveraging ever improving dimensions and capabilities in Information Technology, Data Science,
Predictive Analytics, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Generation, Controlled Tests and Validation and
more towards unearthing of hitherto unexplored and unexplained causes and effects of challenges /
opportunities at large. Creation and management of new age and targeted solutions assisted by
contemporary and deeper insights of the theatres of actions, actors, motivators and influencers.
• Search of insightful threads to formulate lasting and sustainable value agenda across the evolving,
agile and forever transient socio-economic-medley where the priorities, collaborations, allegiances
and affiliations are constantly churning in the continual centrifuge of primal-DNA and external
influences; all the while remaining realistic, responsive and agile enough to sustain the support of the
restless in the short-to-medium term (intermittent and directional successes) but with a firm belief
and focus on the long-term, above and beyond the noise and vicissitude of short-termism; a journey
beyond the debilitating and shrinking economic cycles and deferred costs.
• Business seeks to pursue growth strategy in the promising but heterogeneous and complex
underdeveloped and developing markets; needs insightful, strategic and confident leadership, who
can comfortably bridge the cultural, policy, statutory and operational gap, supported by past
experience; where history, culture, emotions, structure of governance, decision cycles, value metrics
are distinct, often opaque and not necessarily laid-out to compliment linear execution.
• Business seeks to strategize and implement growth-oriented, best practices-embedded and supply
chain-optimized Information Technology Services, leveraging people, processes and technology, in
particular in the new age world of 3.0 - heterogeneous, interconnected but loosely and
opportunistically coupled, aspirant but impatient, flexible as well as portable, where unconventional,
shorter attention span and commensurate expectations is the new-normal.

• Business seeks experienced and safe hands to lead / drive cross-geo-demographic transformation
program consisting of internal and external partners / stakeholders and providers; collaborating,
cooperating and competing, often where primal as well as altruistic objectives play at the same time.
• Information Technology Service Provider seeks to build and grow a focused industry practice or a
global account, nationally / regionally or globally, on the foundation of insightful strategy, business
economics and metrics-driven value differentiators.
Personality wise, I am a strong person with clear views and sound values; a proven mentor & coach, a team
builder with unshakeable integrity. I am comfortable building businesses right from visualisation, planning
through to solution articulation / positioning and consultative selling at every required level, right up to the
CXO suite / board.
With grown-up children who are well settled, I am fairly mobile, can travel frequently or for periods at a time
to locations, as needed. I have lived and worked in multiple geographies, including Asia, Australia, Europe,
Middle East and North America.
I will consider permanent employment / project / tenure / contract / term assignment and easily and
confidently move between people, culture, traditions and persuasions.

Leaders worldwide. Often, he is sought to simplify, articulate, explain and communicate from amongst multi-
dimensional imperatives, which may include political, historical, regional, cultural, demographic, business,
people and / or behavioural issues. Of particular interest and strength is his currency of understanding and
his ability to apply judicial choices to navigate within the principles & operative behaviour between developed

planning and the possibilities and challenges of co-existence between nations, mature approach in advising /

vs. theoretical imperatives.
