I am not an AI consultant. I am an industrial operator who has deployed AI at scale — and been held accountable for the results.
18 years as General Manager and Regional Business Head inside Siemens Ltd. (Germany's most technology-advanced industrial MNC) gave me a formation that most AI advisors cannot claim: I have stood on a plant floor at 2am debugging a process control failure, sold AI-driven operational transformation to a CFO who needed a payback period in months not years, and led a 100+ person organisation through the cultural resistance that kills most digitalisation programmes before they deliver anything.
What I have specifically done:
Won the world's first AI-driven mill operation project — recognised as a global Siemens benchmark
Deployed digital twins, predictive maintenance, and intelligent process control across Cement, Zinc, Power, Mining, and other sectors
Translated complex AI and automation capabilities into EBITDA outcomes — energy cost reduction, throughput improvement, downtime elimination
Managed technology partnerships — vendor qualification, AI platform selection, contract structuring, and delivery governance
Led change management for digital transformation — converting operational teams who had run processes manually for 20 years into AI-adoption advocates
Currently completing INSEAD Senior Leadership Programme (ILPSE) and IISc AI & Quantum Computing programme.
I can help you with:
Industrial AI strategy — Digital twin design — Predictive maintenance implementation — Automation project scoping — AI vendor selection — Change management for digitalisation — Industrial AI business case development — Smart factory roadmaps
