Strategy Consultant at Self Employed

Bio Summary

Engineer-MBA by education and strategist by experience. Started from Product Management in 1990 and then moved to management consulting, with a stint as an entrepreneur (startup) and as Marketing head for a midsized Silicon Valley-based consulting firm. My career shows a consistent theme of cross-functional initiatives that focus on new and strategically important revenue streams and operating models. I have significant Indian and international work with the largest global business advisory firms in both client-facing and internal roles. I have worked across India, in the Middle East, UK and USA; and am comfortable dealing with multiple cultures (Indian, American, Arabic, European and Japanese) and stakeholders at multiple levels. My core area of expertise is in growth strategy and organization assessment. I develop strategies and strategic plans, business plans, feasibility studies and market entry plans, organization structures and role changes, manpower plans and change management plans. Able to connect well with external and internal senior executives to develop relationships and drive leadership agendas. I have expertise in concept-based selling, and am adept at absorbing, using and presenting quantitative/ qualitative data to address strategic and operating problems. I operate independently with minimal supervision to tame unstructured environments, manage and coach teams to self-driven success. Very comfortable in new ventures/initiatives.
