Nazimuddin Mubeen

IT Project and Service Delivery Leader

Hyderabad, India

Professional Summary

Senior Project and Service Delivery leader with more than 28 years in Information Technology, 11 of them spent running complex programs and managed services. I've built my career out of turning client needs and operational data into commercially viable service-delivery models - SOW development, SLA structures, cost-to-serve analysis, resource models, governance frameworks, and performance-management mechanisms all fall within my wheelhouse. Along the way, I helped convert a staffing engagement into a $9M annual managed-services contract, secured a fully funded expansion of a major modernization program from 54,994 to 104,000 hours, and kept SLA performance penalty-free for three consecutive years.

NTT DATA Services · Hyderabad, India

Over nearly nine years at NTT DATA, I worked with multiple clients across a range of projects and delivery models. I led teams spread across several locations on managed services, modernization, and cloud migration work, as well as strategic hiring for US and UK clients. I built data-driven governance and tracking frameworks that kept interdependent programs on schedule and fully transparent, and sharpened my stakeholder, people, budget, and schedule management skills across a decade in leadership roles.

Modernization Project Manager – United Parcel Service (UPS), USA

Took over a high-visibility modernization program mid-stride and quickly got control of the conversion of 282 Java/EJB screens into responsive Angular 10 interfaces for UPS's Global Timecard System - a compliance-driven program with a hard Thanksgiving deadline and weekly health reports going straight to UPS VP-level leadership.
Revalidated the scope and cost-to-deliver assumptions for the 282-screen program, identified significant complexity the original estimate had missed, and built the evidence and delivery rationale that secured a client-funded expansion from 54,994 to 104,000 hours.
Redesigned the delivery and capacity model into 3 staggered workstreams, scaling the team from 25 to 80+ resources across front-end, Java, UX, testing, and CI/CD disciplines spread across Indian cities.
Put in place a twice-daily MS Project scheduling discipline, tracking 600–700 tasks per iteration (~2,000 tasks total): a nightly update to capture completions, spot assignment gaps, and pre-assign the next day's work, and a midday update to absorb real-time surprises, absences, and delays - so every team member always had clearly defined work.
Used demand-based onboarding, deployment, and release planning to claw back an inherited ~10% budget overrun (~10,400 hours of idle resource cost), keep the closeout team lean, and finish the program within the revised 104,000-hour commercial baseline.
The execution model I developed for this program was later adopted as a case study in NTT DATA's internal project management training, recognized as a benchmark for large-scale delivery governance and resource optimization.

Strategic Offshore Hiring Program Manager – NTT DATA UK

Built and ran a £400K offshore talent-supply model to meet anticipated Telco and Media client demand, targeting 80 mid-to-senior cloud engineering positions and delivering 13 hires in 4 months.
Set up the sourcing funnel and partner structure across internal talent-acquisition teams and 2 external hiring partners, screening 400+ profiles while holding to rigorous selection controls and a £5K per-hire commercial constraint.
Cut offer-dropout risk by staying engaged with shortlisted candidates between offer acceptance and their joining date.
Built Power BI executive dashboards tracking pipeline health, offer status, onboarding progress, and deployment readiness for UK and India leadership, giving onshore and offshore stakeholders real-time visibility and the data to make hiring decisions with confidence.

Migration Project Manager – Humana Inc., USA

Led a 20+ member cross-functional team through the migration of 101 applications from legacy SSO to Azure Active Directory, steering a high-risk, multi-stakeholder program with strict timelines and zero tolerance for authentication downtime.
Put strong project-management controls in place by proactively flagging blockers, mapping interdependencies, and driving timely resolution across parallel workstreams, and established structured progress tracking and stakeholder communication routines that kept delivery on time.

Cloud Migration Project Manager – AccessOne Medcard Inc., USA

Led a 20+ member cross-functional team through the migration of 101 applications from legacy SSO to Azure Active Directory, steering a high-risk, multi-stakeholder program with strict timelines and zero tolerance for authentication downtime.
Put strong project-management controls in place by proactively flagging blockers, mapping interdependencies, and driving timely resolution across parallel workstreams, and established structured progress tracking and stakeholder communication routines that kept delivery on time.

Project Manager – Long Term Care Group (Now Illumifin), USA

Directed a $9M annual managed services engagement supporting LTCG, the largest third-party administrator for long-term care insurance in the US, overseeing application support, maintenance, and 24x7 operations across 10+ applications and 29 insurance carrier clients, including the flagship Long Term Care Admin System (LTCAS) with 20+ modules built on Powerbuilder and SQL Server.
Helped design and stand up the commercial and delivery model that turned a staffing engagement into a $9M annual managed-services contract, analyzing 5 years of service-demand data to define SLA tiers, resolution benchmarks, resource requirements, governance mechanisms, and SOW inputs supporting 10+ applications and 29 insurance-carrier clients.
Led a 36-member team across Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Pune - 15 L2 developers, 15 L3 developers, and a 6-member 24x7 operations crew handling batch processing and carrier data exchange - hiring and onboarding 15+ engineers including college freshers, and keeping knowledge continuity intact across a complex multi-technology estate over 5 years.
Designed the performance-management model behind it all, building a predictive SLA compliance engine in SQL Server against ServiceNow data and executive Power BI dashboards. The model tracked ~150 monthly tickets and 3–4 P1 incidents, caught early compliance dips in time to fix them on at least 6–7 occasions, and became the backbone of SLA governance.
Achieved zero SLA penalties across 3 consecutive years against a demanding multi-tier framework (90% P1 closure within 24 hours, 85% P2 within 3 days, 85% P3 within 30 days, 85% P4 within 60 days) - a turnaround from a contractually-agreed stabilization year when P2 compliance had dipped as low as 63% and P3 to 70%, with every miss formally reported to LTCG per contract terms.

Value Creation Team – NTT DATA

Applied NTT DATA's Value Creation Framework to independently assess multiple client accounts and recommend improvements to delivery processes, cost structures, resource models, and operational performance.

Achievements

Recognized with two NTT DATA India Innovation Awards in 2019, winning the most-voted innovation across all of India and best innovation from Hyderabad city.
Nominated for the 2019 Annual NTT DATA India Delivery Excellence Award, all driven by the predictive dashboard and zero-miss SLA achievement.
