Great to be speaking at NYU this week on cross-border communication and global business. In today's interconnected world, success is no longer just about strategy or technology - it's about understanding people, culture, and perspective across borders. Having spent much of my career between U.S., China, and the global markets, I've seen the biggest opportunities - and challenges - often come down to how well we communicate across differences. Excited to share real-world insights and engage with the next generation of global leaders. #NYU #GlobalBusiness #Leadership #Telecom #PandaMobile

Bridging Earth and Orbit: The Future of Global Connectivity For decades, mobile and satellite networks operated in separate spheres. Today, those worlds are converging - creating a seamless connectivity fabric that spans the entire planet. From Direct-to-Device (D2D) services to evolving 3GPP NTN standards, this integration is transforming how industries operate. Telcos can unlock new revenue streams and deliver global-grade reliability and reach, while automotive, maritime, aviation, and energy sectors gain uninterrupted connectivity across deserts, oceans, and airspace. At the same time, IoT ecosystems become truly borderless, enabling sensors and assets to stay visible and productive even in the most remote locations. At Capgemini Engineering, we are proud to stand at the intersection of these worlds. With deep expertise in telecom and satellite systems, we help operators and enterprises design, integrate, and scale hybrid networks that deliver reliability and performance everywhere - from factory floors to earth orbit. The era of “no coverage” is ending, and the horizon ahead is connected. 👉 Read the full blog by my colleague Rajat Kapoor here: https://lnkd.in/g2ZZem8N #5G #NTN #Telecom #Satellite #Innovation

For Executives in Transition: Stay Visible Without Self-Promoting The right opportunities rarely come from public postings. They come from trusted networks, retained search firms, and discreet visibility. Here’s how senior leaders stay visible without self-promoting: 🔒 BlueSteps (AESC) Confidential access to retained executive search firms worldwide — your profile is seen only by the firms hired to place senior leaders. 🎯 Targeted search firm mapping Not all firms are equal. Map by sector, geography, and ownership to ensure your outreach is relevant, timely, and strategic. 🪑 Board opportunity platforms Private and nonprofit boards provide governance experience, visibility, and opportunities aligned to your goals. 🔄 Interim & advisory networks Short-term roles maintain momentum, sharpen relevance, and signal value while preserving flexibility. Executive transitions are often about being in the right places, with the right people, at the right time.

" THE GCC PLATFORM SHIFT NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT " Here's an uncomfortable question most GCC leaders won't answer: Is your Global Capability Center a strategic asset... or an expensive offshore delivery factory? The data is brutal: 📊 67% of legacy GCCs fail to transform from cost centers to profit centers 📊 $12B+ in write-downs from failed GCC transformations (2020-2024) 📊 Only 33% successfully become strategic enablers Why do most fail? They're optimizing the wrong model. THE OLD PLAYBOOK THAT WORKED FOR 20 YEARS: ✅ Offshore work → 40-60% cost savings ✅ Measure utilization rates, cost per FTE ✅ Celebrate being "cheaper and faster" THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED: 🔴 Companies went public → Markets demand scalable revenue 🔴 Aggressive M&A → Need integration, not just delivery 🔴 Clients want platforms, not projects 🔴 AI automates what GCCs used to do manually The "efficient delivery center" model isn't enough anymore. ENTER: THE PLATFORM SHIFT Winners aren't optimizing delivery. They're building product factories. OLD MODEL: Client needs economic analysis → Assign 3 economists / analysts , 6 weeks → $150K one-time fee → Zero scalability NEW MODEL: Build "Economic Impact Platform" → AI-enabled, pre-loaded with 500+ projects → $50K subscription + $25K per use → Infinite scalability The math: Year 1: Platform looks worse ($1.5M vs $3M) Year 3: Platform dominates ($15M vs $3M) This is why public markets pay 3x multiples for productized advisory. WHO'S WINNING: McKinsey QuantumBlack: $600M+ revenue, product-first mindset BCG X: 3,000 engineers, exclusive OpenAI/Anthropic partnerships Deloitte: $3B AI investment transforming Indian GCC operations WHO'S STRUGGLING: ❌ Transform existing culture (instead of building new) ❌ Underfunded transformation ❌ No separate P&L ❌ Too slow (market moved while they planned) IF YOU'RE LEADING A GCC, YOU FACE AN EXISTENTIAL CHOICE: Transform into a platform factory that enables productized advisory... Or get disrupted by competitors who figured it out first. Next week: The complete playbook ✅ 18-month transformation roadmap ✅ Which services to productize ✅ Metrics that prove it's working ✅ Real numbers from firms that 10x'd value Question: What's the biggest barrier you see to transforming GCCs from delivery centers to platform factories? #ThePlatformShift continues... #GCC #ConsultingTransformation #AdvisoryServices #ProfessionalServices #Innovation
