ABOUT NIKHIL GOLHAR
I’m a project management leader with over 12 years of experience delivering large-scale technology and infrastructure programs across transportation, telecom, cloud, and data platforms. Currently leading multimillion-dollar initiatives at CN Rail, I specialize in full-cycle program delivery — from cloud transformation and operational technology modernization to telecom lifecycle upgrades and regulatory compliance. With a track record of managing portfolios ranging from $1M to $45M+, I bring a strategic, detail-driven approach to leading cross-functional teams, optimizing stakeholder communication, and ensuring risk-aware, value-based outcomes. I work comfortably across Agile and hybrid environments, and thrive in roles that demand both technical understanding and business alignment. Earlier in my career, I managed critical infrastructure and IT delivery projects in banking and rail through leadership roles at Tech Mahindra and Infosys. My portfolio includes cloud platform adoption (GCP), infrastructure as code (Terraform), SAP rollouts, and high-availability support environments.
