About

Committed professional with 17 years experience in the fields of publishing, IT, Quality with a passion to do and deliver the best

I have a total of 17 years experience, with a publishing domain-specific experience of 10 years. I started way back in 1995 on completion of my MPhil degree in Medical Physics. I started my publishing career with Scientific Publishing Services, an associate of Springer-Verlag, Germany. During my 10-year stint, I have held roles of varying capacities. My relevant editing experience is a total of 5 years 8 months (4 years full time and 1 year 8 months as a freelancer). I had set up the entire editorial operations for erstwhile Alden Prepress Services Ltd, Chennai, India (part of Alden Group, UK). During my tenure there, I had trained close to around 100 freshers in language and style editing. I have experience of working with certain marquee clients of the likes of McGraw-Hill, Elsevier Science, Springer Verlag, Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Blackwell Sciences, Taylor & Francis. Currently, am working for RSC and McGraw-Hill journals and books, respectively.
I have an IT experience of 6 years - as a Program Manager @ erstwhile Satyam Computer Services and as a Program Excellence Leader @ GE. As a PMO leader, I have an extensive experience in project/program management office leadership, project management, program management, change management, operations management, quality management, process streamlining and improvement.
Proven track record of managing and leading successful process operations, setting up of effective project/program management office, collaboration, and creating partnerships across organization lines.
Process-oriented professional with an experience of working at both tactical and strategic levels.
In an attempt to strike the right balance between work and life, I recently quit my regular job to make a career as a freelance academic editor.
