About
Operator first. Advisor second.
I have spent nearly four decades building services, products, SaaS platforms and commercial technology businesses—not observing them from the sidelines.
Through Avani Cimcon, TravelCarma, TourWiz and the ventures around them, I have personally worked with clients across the United States, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and other international markets. The work has crossed travel, healthcare, finance and enterprise software.
Today, I bring that operating judgment to leaders who need clear choices, commercial realism and a practical route from strategy to execution.

“I do not write about AI from the sidelines. I first use it to solve real business and technology problems—then share what worked, what failed and what leaders can learn.”
