About

Cybersecurity and AI business practitioner with 21+ years across Consulting, Alliances, and large-account sales — currently leading Cybersecurity/AI business Sales at Accenture, with prior cross-border experience across GCC, EMEA, APAC, and Africa. I partner with CISOs, CXOs, and senior leadership to shape security and AI agendas — from problem framing to commercial closure. My work spans SOC and Managed Security Services, Identity & Access Governance (IAM/IGA), Data Protection (DPDPA), Cybersecurity Transformation, and AI-enabled Security. Over the years, I have carried both revenue and advisory mandates — anchoring large enterprise pursuits, RFPs, and executive engagements, while building durable alliances with global OEMs. That mix lets me sit comfortably on either side of the table — selling outcomes when the client needs a partner and advising solutions when the client needs clarity. What I bring: Large-deal pursuit leadership — RFPs, executive presentations, commercial structuring, negotiation, closure Cybersecurity portfolio fluency — SOC/MSSP, IAM/IGA, Data Protection, Cloud Security, AI/Gen-AI security Senior client relationships across BFSI, Telecom, Enterprise, and Public Sector in India and GCC Alliance development with global cybersecurity OEMs and GSIs Team building and cross-cultural delivery across India, GCC, EMEA, APAC, and Africa Open to conversations on cybersecurity strategy, AI adoption in security, and building security businesses across India and the GCC.
