Summary
Driven by fear of the unknown, I play well with uncertainty and the excitement it generates. To
try something new, to imbibe knowledge, to preserve my enthusiasm and keep evolving as a
professional are a few things I regularly work on.
Currently chasing complexity in a bid to simplify it for SAP's customers as an Enterprise Architect
supporting software license sales cycles across the solution portfolio.
I have also been a solution engineer (pre-sales), consulting project lead in multiple large scale end-to-
end SAP implementation projects for fortune 500 organizations in multiple countries, a trusted adviser
for technology strategy to senior management, hands on consultant, trainer, project manager, ramp-
up coach, PMI author and an SAP Top Talent.
An ideal role in my opinion does not measure success with a time sheet.
