About Me

Compliance expertise
meets business acumen.

I'm a Global Trade Compliance professional with 6+ years at EY and Deloitte, advising multinationals across Pharma, Aerospace, Renewable Energy, Technology, and 7 other sectors on navigating the world's most complex regulatory environments.

My differentiator is bridging deep regulatory expertise with data-driven automation — building Power BI compliance dashboards, deploying Gen-AI monitoring tools, and leading AI/ML transformation projects. I hold an MBA (Finance) from MIT World Peace University and a BBA from PSG College, Coimbatore.

Outside work, I follow emerging technologies, AI/Gen-AI, investing, and global markets — which keeps me naturally attuned to how macro trends shape trade policy.
