About Manish Sinha
I am an Associate Director – Data & Analytics with ~18 years of experience building and scaling enterprise-grade data, analytics, and AI capabilities across Oil & Gas, commodities, supply chain, sustainability, and trading.I specialize in setting up and scaling Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and leading multi-disciplinary teams across data engineering, analytics, product, and AI. Over the course of my career, I have helped organizations move from fragmented reporting to decision-focused data platforms, contributing to $50M+ in measurable business impact through improved planning, risk reduction, and operational efficiency.My work sits at the intersection of business strategy and data execution. I partner closely with senior business and technology leaders to define data and analytics strategy, establish common data models and governance, secure funding, and prioritize high-value initiatives that translate directly into business outcomes.I have led global teams of 20–40+ professionals, built operating models for analytics delivery, and driven adoption of advanced analytics, AI/ML, and emerging GenAI capabilities—always with a strong emphasis on scalability, explainability, and real-world impact rather than dashboards alone.I am particularly interested in roles where data and analytics act as a strategic enabler, supporting enterprise transformation, GCC scale-up, and complex decision-making in large, global organizations.
