I’m deeply passionate about People, Innovation, Technology, and Storytelling. With over 23 years of experience leading large-scale digital transformations, I’ve helped global Fortune 500 organizations evolve through Agile, Cloud, DevOps, modernization, and now AI-enabled transformations. While technology is the catalyst, what truly energizes me is empowering people—helping them grow, innovate, and thrive alongside intelligent systems. Currently, I serve as Global IT Director at H&R Block, where I lead multiple high-impact products across the Fintech and US Tax domains. . Here I am building the technology capabilities that enable H&R Block's Block Next Ideal State: helping every client achieve financial success through personalized expertise, proactive support, and AI-powered experiences. I also drive HRB India Innovation Launchpad activities, shape H&R Block India's social media strategies, and mentor emerging and seasoned leaders to become AI-ready, people-centric change agents As an author, I write about leadership in the AI era, innovation culture, and the evolving partnership between humans and machines. My latest book, Leading with AI: Leading People and Machines to Win Together (June 2025), explores how leaders can build organizations where human potential and artificial intelligence amplify each other. At my core, I’m a servant leader committed to creating environments where creativity flourishes, talent shines, and innovation becomes a repeatable habit—powered by data, guided by empathy, and accelerated by AI. Let’s build, transform, and lead—together. #PeopleFirst #AIReadyLeadership #DigitalTransformation #GenAI #InnovationCulture #ServantLeadership #TechWithPurpose #HumanAndAI #LeadershipDevelopment #ChangeAgent #FutureOfWork #ResponsibleAI
