Senior technology executive with 30+ years across AI systems, AdTech, FinTech, healthcare, and product engineering. The work has always sat at the intersection of strategic direction and hands-on delivery — architecture, product decisions, and operating cadence treated as one system, not separate silos. Holds a Master’s in Industrial Engineering from PSG College of Technology, with depth in systems simulation, operations research, and AI.
The career began in industrial automation in Germany, moved through large-scale enterprise software at TCS and Information Builders across three continents, then into leadership roles shaping AdTech platforms at Zeta Global, social analytics at Unmetric, and cross-media measurement at Zirca. More recently, the focus has shifted toward applied AI, quantum-resistant cryptography at PureCipher, healthcare data systems at Securra, and fractional executive work helping startups scale their technology and product functions.
A recurring thread through all of it is a belief that good technology leadership requires staying close to the craft. That means being in the architecture reviews, reading the code, understanding the data, and making product trade-offs with both business context and technical depth. It also means building teams that operate with clarity, autonomy, and a shared sense of quality.
Outside of work: building products independently, reading across science and philosophy, writing on technology and leadership, and a committed yoga practice rooted in discipline and long-term progression.
