Currently Director of Global Business Operations at Rayda, he combines program design, data-driven performance optimization, and cross-functional execution to accelerate growth and partner adoption. His background includes leading large-scale talent and education initiatives at Microsoft—designing university engineering programs, national teacher skilling drives, and government advisory work—and founding a nonprofit that reached nearly 10,000 young people through culturally tuned curricula and volunteer management.
