About

I run a global business across three continents. My job is simple to state and hard to do: set the direction, build the team, and deliver profitable growth. As Group Aftermarket Director at TitanX Engine Cooling (a Tata Enterprise), I hold full P&L accountability across EMEA, North America, and South America, owning the strategy, the operating model, and the org that executes it, and answering for it at board level. Two decades in commercial roles across TitanX, MAHLE, and Haldex taught me where profit actually comes from. Now I'm accountable for all of it. One belief: get 1% better every day, and help everyone around you do the same.
