SKILLS
ABOUT VISHWAS RATHOD
I\'ve spent 20 years navigating the world of digital transformation, managing multi-million-pound programmes, each filled with unique challenges and common ones - tight deadlines and high visibility. Behind every successful delivery is a story of finding creative solutions to complex problems:Transforming delivery processes:Creating advocacy at T-Mobile to transform the organisation\'s software development lifecycle to resolve project delays caused by misalignment between development output and original requirements. Projects plagued by defects led to extended development and testing cycles. This caused tension between business functions resulting in increased project delivery costs. I established a customer-centred approach, via UX/UI prototypes, making it easier for business functions to align. This drove a significant reduction of wastage from rework and defects, allowing the full rebrand and rearchitecture of 6 T-Mobile applications to complete on schedule.Introducing agile methodologies: To rescue programmes that were 2-3 months behind schedule, at Virgin Media and TUI, I introduced a number of agile concepts. Co-located the teams for better communication, implemented physical Kanban boards and established a sprint cadence, in order to inject urgency and deliver on schedule.Streamlining governance:Defined stakeholder engagement processes at Allwyn for Apple/Google policy change notifications, Go-To-Market communication for 8-9 major releases per year and critical data handling for compliance. Keeping senior stakeholders informed and involved helped ensure rapid identification and resolution of issues, with full support. This supported the successful delivery of the Digital Annual Business Plan contributing upwards of £50 million in revenue growth.Outside of work, I\'m an active member of the local community and help organise events that foster cooperation, charitable service and spiritual growth.If you\'re looking for someone who can navigate complex digital landscapes while delivering impactful results, feel free to reach out!
