This includes both projects with an Agile focus and those delivered leveraging Waterfall or a Hybrid methodology. In doing this work, Arun has helped clients undertake both back-office transformations (Oracle, SAP S/4, Dynamics 365, finance function transformations and more) as well as front office transformations (customer care and billing, transportation and logistics, manufacturing plant, clinical information systems, student registration and billing, and more).

In his current role, Arun works with our clients’ boards supporting them as an advisor on transformation and supporting them in a better understanding of their roles and key risks within the transformation program. He also works closely as a senior advisor to our clients’ leadership helping them think through their transformation outcomes and make the right key decisions. 

Arun’s clients value the depth of experience he brings to his engagements and his ability to navigate highly regulated industries. He is known for his collaborative skills and the ability to build strong client relationships. He is passionate about building teams, creating positive energy within his teams and creating an environment that fosters teamwork.

At a community level, Arun is passionate about the need to drive better learning around Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics with our current generation. He is a prior Board member of TELUS Spark Science Centre in Calgary and of Homeward Trust Edmonton. 
 
In his spare time Arun enjoys golfing & skydiving, finding them to be a calming influence in comparison to his busy workdays.
