As a consultant and advisor, I have served national oil & gas, power, water and mining leaders across the UAE, US, Japan, Australia, UK and India — and began my career on the refinery floor at Reliance. I led the North America go-to-market for Accenture’s SAP / IBM Maximo / Oracle asset-management practice, founded SAP’s global Oil, Gas & Chemicals co-innovation consortium, and now build agentic AI at enterprise scale — with a US patent on an AI-driven asset-maintenance platform and a win at the SAP AI Hackathon 2025. My focus: helping energy and utilities organisations build the AI-native capabilities the transition demands — a data foundation first, AI on top for loss, forecasting and predictive maintenance, and strategy as the anchor. I care about measurable outcomes, not slideware. Credentials: US Patent · AWS AI Practitioner · GCP Cloud Architect / Vertex AI · SAP BTP & AI Leader · Kellogg (Northwestern) Data-Driven Analytics · IIM Ahmedabad Manufacturing Strategy.
