During my 20+ years of technology Industry career, I have led global technology businesses across EMEA, North America and Asia. I have a strong background in business strategy development and execution, implementing large scale transformation programs, P&L management and M&A in the Financial Services Industry. Over the years, I have worked closely with CXOs and have been part of Supervisory Board sessions and Risk committees and have a very strong network of Business & Technology CXOs. In my role as Vice President for Strategic Industries, I partner with clients on their Digital Transformation journeys powered by Cloud and Data services across 5 Industries - Financial Service, Retail, Consumer Goods, Telecommunications and Auto industries. My work across regulated industries involves dealing with relevant data sovereignty, security & controls and risk management solutions for Cloud services. I bring a unique blended experience of thought leadership and innovation in cloud, data and analytics from big tech and other product/services companies, but also real life experience of delivering large scale data transformation programs in a secure and compliant way. In addition, I also lead the sustainability track for Google Cloud for Strategic Industries in EMEA across 2 tracks - driving sustainability solutions and living sustainably at Google.

I am also a Non Exec Director for PayUK. Pay.UK is the recognised operator and standards body for the UK's retail interbank payment systems under the Aegis of Bank of England. Pay.UK provides the digital payments networks used by the UK's banks, building societies, other payment providers and all of their customers to make payments, ensuring they are secure, safe and simple to use.
