Brief Profile: I am passionate about technology that drives business in a digital world! With barely 60 of the 1955 Fortune 500 companies still in the list, it gives me pause to think of the kind of rapidly transforming world we live in today! Average tenures on the Fortune 500 have dropped from 75 years to about 15 years and players like Facebook, Amazon and Google who don't manufacture anything, command huge values are now on the list. What's more, I am sure many more such digital natives are on their way to the list! I would love to build the kind of company that can instill in its people, processes and products a sense of purpose that enables them to not only stay current in terms of state of the art technology, but become a truly future proof business. Such a company, would truly be the APPLE of many eyes, not to mention be a darling of its stakeholders! I currently work at one such company and am proud of the wonderful team of people I work with!
