Description

I am a former Bain & Company Manager advising governments, private equity investors, and corporates on high-stakes strategy, investment, and transformation initiatives. I specialize in large-scale transformation and PMO, operating model design, organisational design and private equity strategy. I have led complex engagements across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, partnering with CXOs and ministers, aligning stakeholders and delivering measurable impact. I also bring industry experience in leading international expansion, establishing regional offices, and building high-performing teams across multiple geographies.

Prior to consulting, I worked in Private Equity and a Global Ed-tech company, focusing on investment diligence, enterprise strategy, and international growth, while supporting social impact programs focused on economic empowerment.

I hold an MBA from INSEAD, France, and a Bachelor's degree in Business Studies from Delhi University, India.
