About Satish Desai

With over 20 years of experience in program management and business transformation, my work focuses on establishing and managing IT-PMO functions, including creating intake workflows, prioritization cadences, and executive dashboards. I also contribute to GCC setup and expansion by managing office build-outs, vendor engagements, and cross-regional integration into unified operating models. Leveraging skills in technology transfer, balanced scorecards, and certified expertise in Scrum methodologies (CSM® and CSPO®), I facilitate data-driven decision-making by developing RAID logs, KPIs, and portfolio health metrics. My efforts in delivering cross-functional programs, such as the rollout of Win11 and M365 Copilot (AI) enablement, IAM Assessment, Technology Asset Management underscore a commitment to operational efficiency and innovation within collaborative and structured frameworks.
