Looking toward the future, I am deeply motivated by the promise of responsible innovation to contribute to the world’s most difficult problems in order to create a better and greener future. My entire journey thus far has been based on the belief that tech is best used to transform lives and provide lasting value to companies and society.

Throughout the years, I have been privileged to work on a broad set of projects — defining AI ecosystems, developing first-mover narratives, and some of the trickiest business issues in a number of industries and sectors. From these, I have gained a strong sense that creativity should also be coupled with accountability, to make sure every answer is not just for the short term. All of these lessons only strengthened my belief that technology should not be studied for novelty alone, but for the possibility of producing real and useful value.

I am committed to utilise my knowledge and experience to create real, meaningful impact in AI and digital transformation. My primary interest and focus remains on creating solutions that are visionary, yet practical, long-term and universal. Be it digitising business functions, redefining customer experiences or allowing sectors to evolve towards a sustainable future, the future needs to be empathic and purpose driven innovation.

I aspire to work with leaders and passionate experts who are just as dedicated to doing what is right. Together, I believe we can use technology to create a world that’s smarter and kinder, one that reconciles progress with accountability and ambition with modesty.

My goal here is incredibly simple and profound: to leave behind systems, solutions and structures that stand the test of time for all generations not just this generation but the next.
