Results achieved - $8 million in annual savings, 500% growth in the pipeline and a 10-point increase in client Net Promoter Scores.
He has earned the reputation as a strategic advisor who is dedicated to client success. He brings innovation and out-of-the-box thinking to impact clients’ businesses and exceeds delivery commitments. He is particularly passionate about digital transformation and automation and has published numerous articles based on his learnings in these areas.
