Chief Executive Officer India · Global perspective

Building enduring enterprises. Creating value that lasts.

I lead businesses through the moments when ambition must become a different operating reality. My work has spanned enterprise renewal, market entry and the development of leadership teams able to sustain change beyond a single programme.

My task is to give the enterprise a direction it can act on. I make the choices about customers, capital and capabilities explicit, then give business leaders the authority and accountability to deliver. I want difficult information to reach the leadership team while there is still time to respond.
