About Shiv

With over 35 years of experience, I am a seasoned leader in software delivery and organization development catalyzing excellence initiatives for customers as a mentor/coach and consultant.

As a Principal Consultant and founder-member at PM Power, I have designed and delivered competency development programs that train, mentor, and coach leaders and teams to achieve personal and organizational growth and I was also instrumental in the development of PM Power frameworks and self-paced e-learning modules to support the above programs. In the past ten years, I have coached over 500 managers spanning over a dozen organizations pursuing delivery excellence.

I began my career as a software engineer at Tata Unisys Ltd (now part of Tata Consultancy Services) in Mumbai. My experience during that time spanned many technical platforms and roles ranging from developer to tester to Delivery Manager servicing major multinationals in the US, UK and Europe.

After ANZ, I joined iGATE (now part of Cap Gemini). As a BU Head at iGATE, I was responsible for software delivery from engineering centers in Bangalore and Chennai, overseeing large Offshore Development Centers for US and UK-based clients in electronics retail, manufacturing, and software product development.

Personal interests: I am an ardent fan of movie classics (Casablanca, Psycho, Sholay, Anand, Ponniyin Selvan to name a few). I am a diehard foodie having tried exotic cuisine in many lands. I am also a lover of physical books and have a substantial collection at home across many genres.
