About Soumen
I’m a business leader with over three decades of experience across finance, technology, and strategy. My career has been about building and reshaping businesses, from new ventures to large-scale turnarounds; and helping them grow across markets.
I started in banking and moved through roles that combined business strategy, product design, and market expansion. Over the years, I’ve led teams, managed risk, and built business strategies that connect numbers to outcomes.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of finance and technology. I focus on how emerging technology and AI can strengthen financial models, improve efficiency, and support long-term growth.
Leadership, for me, is about vision, collaboration and clarity — aligning strategy with people and execution. Whether it’s scaling a product, raising capital, or designing new business models, my goal has always been the same: build value that lasts.
I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Business Administration, focused on Emerging Technologies and AI and business applications, exploring how technology can be better understood, implemented, commercialised and democratised.
Focus areas:
- Business and financial strategy
- AI and technology use cases
- Leadership and collaboration
- Growth and market expansion
