About Priyanka J.
A highly skilled Transition & PMO Manager, I specialize in GCC setup, managed services, and large-scale business transformations, with a proven track record of driving multi-location transitions, scaling operations, and delivering double-digit improvements in cost efficiency and operational effectiveness. My expertise spans program management, data analysis, stakeholder and vendor management, financial strategy, and workforce optimization, ensuring seamless business transitions and sustained growth. I have successfully led team scaling, strategic hiring, and transformation initiatives, recruiting key roles and implementing structured onboarding and training programs to drive high-performance teams. My experience in end-to-end process migration and KPI alignment ensures adherence to global standards while improving efficiency through automation and best practices. Additionally, I have played a pivotal role in managing PE/VC/Asset Management client relationships, overseeing vendor partnerships in civil works, transport, and business operations, and providing data-driven insights to global leadership for strategic decision-making. With a strong background in financial planning and cost optimization, I have executed workforce planning and retention strategies, optimized costs through automation and process efficiencies, and worked closely with finance teams on budget controls, revenue forecasting, and expense management. As a PMO and strategy leader, I drive organization-wide initiatives, collaborating closely with executive leadership and the Board of Directors to align India operations with global business priorities. Passionate about workforce optimization and skill mapping, I ensure resource fungibility, productivity maximization, and high employee engagement, fostering a culture of operational excellence and strategic impact. With deep industry knowledge and an ability to execute complex transitions, I enable organizations to scale efficiently, optimize costs, and achieve sustainable business success.
