Consultant during the week.
AI tinkerer on the weekend.

I'm Sid. I help healthcare companies actually execute on their tech and AI ambitions — not just build strategy decks about it. I've been doing this for 18+ years across consulting, VC, and building products from scratch.

* "consultant" undersells it — I run teams, build software, and ship things. But it's the shortest word that fits on a business card.

currently: BCG X, Boston MA · also prototyping AI tools nights & weekends

Work

Managing Director & Partner — BCG X 2017 – now
Boston, MA (also previously London)

BCG X is BCG's tech-build unit — we don't just advise, we build actual products and execute hand-in-hand on transformations. I co-lead the health tech team and spend most of my time as a GM-style product leader on client engagements: defining what to build, running the engineering and design team, and making sure it actually launches.

Projects have ranged from SaMD products in epilepsy and precision medicine platforms on EMR data, to a data monetization business we built zero-to-one with a 30-person team. I also advise on AI strategy — things like "what's our AI roadmap" and "which of our $80M in digital initiatives actually makes sense."

Side project inside BCG: built "Build School", a lean product methodology training that ended up teaching 300+ colleagues how to actually ship products.

Advisor, Corporate Strategy — CA Technologies / Broadcom 2015 – 2017
New York, NY

Helped figure out what to build next as enterprise software was going through its microservices moment. Lots of customer conversations, lots of trying to make sense of where the market was heading.

VP — m8 Capital 2010 – 2014
London, UK · $50M early-stage fund

Did the full VC thing — sourcing, investing, then helping portfolio companies figure out pricing, hiring, business models. Led our pre-seed investment in Noom when it was just a weight-loss app idea. (It later hit a $3.5B valuation. That was a good call.)

Founder — speech recognition start-up 2014 – 2015
London, UK

Took a year to try building something: a B2C MVP for speech recognition in Indian languages. Pre-transformer era, so harder than it sounds. Didn't scale, but learned a lot.

Associate, Tech & Telco — Oliver Wyman 2006 – 2009
Dubai, UAE

Classic strategy consulting across TMT in the Middle East. Fast-tracked Analyst → Consultant → Associate. Where I learned how to structure a problem.

Other stuff

weekends Prototyping AI tools — currently exploring employee behavior change around AI adoption. Not a product yet, just tinkering.
music Keyboard player in an 80s rock band. Also learning drums, which is going slowly.
football Arsenal. Enough said.
background Grew up across a few countries — Dubai, London, Atlanta. This probably explains the career path where I keep getting out of my comfort zone.

Projects

hypersail hypersail.ai — an AI tool I've been building. More to come on this one.
github github.com/thekkepat — where the tinkering lives.
roast gen roastgenerator.lovable.app — a roast generator built with my son. Our first father-son coding project. Turns out he has strong opinions about what makes a good roast.
