Founder And Functional Strategist at TER

Bio Summary

I am a change (transformation) professional with 15+ years of overall experience - a blend of both, clients facing, during the initial 8 years, and business facing, in the next 5 years with a great exposure to entrepreneurship in the past 2 years at www.theelephantrumble.com/ Have had the opportunity to work across several verticals and business areas in client facing roles while the focus has been on Retail banking and Client Management all through. Key skills being end-to-end Projects and Delivery Management and Sr. Stakeholder Management, I am lit by work that challenges and pushes me to perform beyond my potential, anything that has newer learning opportunities and places accountability on me. Motto on the professional front – ‘Do whatever it takes!’ A firm believer of work-life balance and respect for everyone, I enjoy my family, friends and social circle as much as my work. I give it all to my new-found passion - Running and believe that running is one of the biggest metaphors to life (professional + personal) where one gets how much one puts in!

MY EXPERIENCE IN 30SECS READ: I have triumphantly pulled off multiple roles across Education, Learning, Information Technology, Banking and Financials, Media, Consulting industries. While most of my experience lies within the conventional Project Management side ~11+ yrs, I have thoroughly enjoyed working as a management consultant setting up processes - defining the SOPs, and SLAs, designing strategies for client organisations and helping them execute it by addressing the People, Process, Technology and Knowledge Areas, creating ecosystem for easy adaptation of change by the client organisations. Started the entrepreneurial journey with the company 'The Elephant Rumble' with my business partner, who is also my sibling and goes by the name Savita Vijayan in June 2020. We put our solutions-oriented mindset, and analytical skills to skyrocket our client's businesses across the globe! Key skills in the attached Resume
