Achievements Till Date
Early-on in my career, I realized my passion for developing businesses and swiftly identifying and capturing untapped new business/market opportunities. Starting my career in Insurance Underwriting that included Risk Management, Proposal Writing and Pricing of Insurance products, I moved over to Banking to increase my knowledge of banking products. I thus advised Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) on complex financing issues – offering a Single Point Solution for their needs. Growth from functional (client relations) to zonal business responsibilities followed as turnaround objectives were achieved – often quicker and more profitable than expected. And I was steadily promoted to the next level of challenges and increased strategic and leadership responsibilities. Responsible for operations spanning # sq. ft. of western Canada Territory, my ##-member core team was led towards integrating the launch of new products with the marketing and analytics – while reducing costs to achieve a turnaround in various assigned businesses. Over the last 6 months, I have steadily transitioned from handling SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) clients to large-scale corporations – thus broadening my exposure across various functions and products and the entire spectrum of market segments in the business.
Short-term and Long-Term Goals
My near-term goal post-M.B.A is to work as a Management Consultant. With an earlier background of heading large-scale product development, sales and marketing and operational successes in an emerging market, I will be able to add value by bringing in pragmatic and as yet, creative solutions to complex business challenges. Working with a Management Consulting firm will bring in the opportunity to assist clients in succeeding across multiple geographies and international markets.
