Overview

I've spent 23 years on private equity diligence - first at Kotak Mahindra Bank, now at Arbor Works. Designed the operating model for a 17 thousand-person transformation. Led a cost programme that saved a client $124 million. Before that: Accenture and Cisco. Most at home with commercial due diligence and modelling. I volunteer with a food bank on weekends.
