Key Strengths

Extensive experience (10+ years) in IT service management, program/project management, and operations, providing a strong foundation in execution and delivery.
Strong educational background, including an MBA and an Executive Program in Product Management from ISB, indicating formal training in business and product strategy.
Numerous industry certifications (PMP, ITIL V4.0, SAFe 6.0, CSM, CSPO, Six Sigma Black Belt, AWS, CISSP, CISM, CISA) demonstrate a broad theoretical knowledge base across project management, agile methodologies, service management, cloud, and information security.
Demonstrated experience in driving process improvements, automation, Agile/SAFe adoption, and managing cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
Exposure to AI governance, risk management, and compliance frameworks (ISO 9001/27001, SOC 2) in IT operations, which is valuable for modern product development.
The candidate's experience in leading global SAP Supply Chain implementations and service delivery roles suggests a capability to manage complex, large-scale initiatives. While the target role is Product Manager, the candidate's experience is heavily weighted towards program and service delivery management. The 'Product-focused' description in the most recent role and the Product Management executive program indicate an interest and foundational understanding, but direct experience in core product strategy, market analysis, and P&L ownership for a product is less evident in the descriptions.

These indicate strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills crucial for operational fit. However, the psychometric test score of 0 provides no data to objectively assess these soft skills or work attitude.
