Vivart Kapoor

Summary

I am a technocrat driven by new challenges and a desire for success in all my endeavors. As a project management executive with extensive experience in product and application development, my role is to fully understand these needs and tailor technical solutions to fulfill them, recognizing that digitalization is about 70% of people and their needs and 30% about technology. What motivates me? I see myself as an active listener, an avid networker, and an eager learner. These three attributes have helped me grow throughout my 15-year career, from Waterfall to the Agile world, across various industry verticals such as healthcare, manufacturing, maritime, and information technologies.
