I specialize in Payroll & HR Shared Services Transformation with over 34 years of experience across Finance, HR, and Payroll in multinational corporations and startups spanning Tech, Defense, Aeronautics, Oil & Gas, Automobile, and HR Services. My career has been dedicated to business transformation, technology implementation, and change management in leadership roles.
I have led payroll and HR transformation initiatives in 74+ countries, working with industry giants like Intel, Dell, IBM, Microsoft, Honeywell, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, PayPal, and Globalization Partners. My expertise includes shared service center setups, payroll consolidation, RPA, AI-driven HR solutions, and multi-country payroll operations.
What Drives Me?
I am a futuristic thinker and strategic innovator, always striving to maximize potential and efficiency. I thrive on:
– Bringing out the best in people
