Writing has become a passion. Over the past few years, I was fortunate to be invited to write columns and also to have papers published in academic and practitioners journals. During my Ph.D., I received lots of support from numerous people and organizations. Their support allowed me to conduct the best-in-class research projects. Today I am giving back to the communities who supported me by making all my papers available on my web site. Please read, download and circulate widely so that knowledge flows freely.
Here too the focus of my practitioner papers has been on value and pricing management. My intention is to share knowledge widely with the pricing community based on my extensive experience in industry.
