Salman Ahmad Siddiqui
Operations, internal-audit and SLA-oversight experience across telecom infrastructure, managed services and document-management operations. Nearly five decades in electronics, radio communication and telecom operations — 21 years in the Indian Air Force, 28 in telecom and SaaS(DMS/IDP).
My governance point of view is narrow and it is deliberately so. Boards receive a great deal of accurate operational reporting and comparatively little that supports a decision. Having sat on the producing side of that reporting for most of my career — and having been accountable when a control failed rather than when a report was late — I read a pack for whether it would have told me something was wrong in time to act.
