Raj here — based in Arizona since January 1, 2009, and eager to support local entrepreneurs and business owners. With 35 years of entrepreneurial and global business experience, I focus on turning strategy into practical results. My core skills include strategic planning, process harmonization, ERP architecture and implementation (Microsoft Dynamics D365), profit-center management, cost optimization, demand and risk management, and go-to-market strategy. I also design solutions for discrete, hybrid, and process manufacturing and lead software/product delivery. I enjoy mentoring teams, building multicultural delivery organizations, and helping businesses achieve sustainable growth—always with a pragmatic, collaborative, and humble approach. Thank you.

One thing I’ve noticed in entrepreneur communities (both online and in-person) is that most people join hoping to get connections, referrals, or opportunities… but the people who benefit the most usually do something very simple: They show up with clarity. Instead of just networking, they know: - Who they help - What problem they solve - What kind of connections would actually move them forward When you’re clear on that, conversations become more natural, follow-ups make sense, and people remember you. You’re no longer just “another business owner” you’re someone with a purpose. Even something as small as being able to say, “I help X with Y so they can Z,” can completely change how others engage with you. In a community like this where collaboration is the goal clarity helps everyone connect better and serve each other more effectively. if someone in this group asked you what you do and who you help, how would you explain it in one sentence?
