Manoj Kumar

Head of Digital Transformation, Renaissance Services SAOG

I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about my professional journey and expertise with you. Over the past 32 years, I have been fortunate to work across a variety of sectors within the Manufacturing (FMCG, Process, Discrete) and Facility Management industries. During this time, I have held roles in Business Intelligence, Group ICT Head, Head of Digital Transformation, Project Management, ICT Operations, Business Development, Strategy Planning.

 

My experience spans several areas, including transformation in discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, FMCG, and facility management, utilizing platforms such as Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft. One of my strengths is providing vision and leadership for Management Information Systems, which are instrumental for senior team decision-making. Additionally, I ensure the sanctity of all data assets within the company.

 

A significant milestone in my career was implementing the TDABC (Time Driven Activity Base Costing) Tool within the manufacturing sector. I began my career with the Hero-Honda Group (Motor Bike and Bicycle) in India in 1994 and also I played a key role in transforming IT petrochemical manufacturing processes.

 

For the past 18 years, I have been based in Oman, with 14 of those years spent at Kerry Food as Head of IT for Oman, KSA, India, and UAE. Currently, I am with Renaissance Services SAOG in Muscat, Oman, as the Head of Digital Transformation.
