Naveen KumarPhilosophy

What drives a company is its relationships. The people, as well as the numbers.

Merging incisive business strategy, deep technology expertise, and extensive operations knowledge has positioned me as an executive-level trusted advisor within organizations and industry-wide. Quoted in financial and national publications, I've been honored with numerous awards by employers and clients alike.

Through international technological and financial giants like JP Morgan, Citigroup, IBM, KPMG, and Boeing, I've built intrinsic knowledge of international business, leading dozens of large-scale, complex multimillion-dollar projects across industries and continents.

But what I've learned above all is that, to transform business, one transforms the people at its core: leadership and team, client and supplier, internal and external networks.
