Strategy and Planning Manager in Palo Alto, California
Passionate I Positive I Minimalist
I believe in winning and I like to win the right way.
Empathy and introspection have helped me shape my values and principles. In a career span of over 11 years, I've had great opportunities to work with people across different countries, culture and race. I'm always amazed by the myriad perspectives that people have to offer and I enjoy listening to people.
With a strong bias for action, I firmly believe in the power of collaboration and inclusiveness and the positive impact it has on families, communities, organizations, nations and this world.
I'm a currently a Strategy and Planning Manager in Hewlett Packard Enterprise. I've been successful in helping multiple Business Units and Functions within this Technology company to solve some of their large and complex problems. The key among them was being part of the turn around team of a $1B account and leading their Operations team to an unprecedented success. I'm very keen and looking forward to use my general management experience in the technology sector by helping companies solve some of their complex challenges.
I grew up in a small city by the coast in the Southern part of India. Since, I've lived in New Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Singapore and Mountain View. I love to cook, read books, travel, hike, run a marathon / half marathon or just sit quiet doing nothing - Whatever makes me feel good, better and energized.
I've had a great journey thus far and I'm very much looking forward to what life has to offer.
