• Lead change management efforts supporting the implementation of new processes, technologies, AI-enabled capabilities, and organizational models.
• Collaborate with Deloitte teams across the US, US-India, and global member firms to deliver integrated client solutions.
• Oversee multiple project teams and ensure the quality, consistency, and impact of deliverables across large engagements.
