About me

Dear Recruiter,

I have 5 years of international project delivery experience on a range of technology platforms for global clients (UK, US, Denmark and India) and have recently completed my MBA from Manchester Business School.

Having been on the forefront of digital media developments (primarily during my time at business school - when I got the opportunity to work an a range of projects looking at new media platforms - right from transportation to medical uses to gaming), I have been very passionate about this space. Most recently I have been helping a small tech startup prepare a business case for their product (to launch in second quarter) and getting them reach out to private equity investors and venture capitalists in my network.

This is a very interesting time for new media in particular. While my experience prior to my MBA has primarily been on managing large and complex technology projects, this space is a much more fast moving and interesting space. I am very keen to pursue a career with a digital agency, which will give me an opportunity to contribute significantly, not just on projects, but towards the long term strategic growth of the company.

I have been sharing ideas with a range of firms from different sectors like FT, IBM, Lovefilm, P&G about how they should look to compete in the App - economy, how they should integrate the information so that the application is not just an information repository but a mechanism of personal engagement, design principles based on device characteristics, targeting end users and how the design should ideally look to be integrated into CRM systems, especially since consumer technologies are evolving more rapidly than enterprise class technologies.

I was also the co-host and Chief Technology Officer of a flagship event which brought together business school students and digital leaders from firms like Facebook, youtube, salesforce, FT.com, Viadeo etc in a day long event to share ideas about the evolving new media strategies.

I think in order to succeed in this space, one has to have a creative and entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for new media, over and above the competencies required for managing global delivery technical teams. I think I could make a valuable contribution to the team and my motivation for this role would be the challenges the role present and the opportunity to work with like minded colleagues who share my passion for media and technology.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Regards,

Surya
