Previously, she was responsible for the Business Intelligence Competitive Center initiative where she was focused on developing key partnership with major vendors in delivering predictive models for customer churn and satisfaction management, network traffic modeling and end-to-end correlation of user service experience with network level key performance indices.  Previously, she gained valuable IT experience working in various industry domains, including telecom and mobile industry, media, publishing, financials, government, human resources and payroll.  She holds a graduate degree in communication and information systems from Rutgers University and an undergraduate degree in computer science from the National Institute of Technology, India.
