About
Teamwork, integrity and commitment are values that have guided me throughout my career and continue to drive me today. I have had the good fortune to be associated with quality organizations and to work with talented people and dedicated teams delivering quality services in a variety of domains. This has never been truer than with the current management team at Calian.
Assuming the role of CEO, and taking the reins for an organization with over 30 years of proven performance, is both daunting and exciting. Leading Calian is a responsibility that I believe I have been working towards both professionally and personally my entire life. Calian is in a unique position to leverage a solid foundation to be our customers' delivery partner. I am passionate in our pursuit of delivery excellence and innovation. I enthusiastically embrace the challenges, the opportunities and the possibilities that lie ahead.
