My Story

Value Hi – I am Nag Sayala, an experienced strategist from Chicago. Ever since I was a kid growing up in India, used to draw pictures to express my ideas to my teachers, classmates, friends and family. Today, I do the same for organization to help either product or experience, re-design the process or business model. Whether its product, process or business, the common theme is delivering value though innovation of elements, features, functions, interactions. See my portfolio for details of my work.
Specialty Early career at smaller companies honed my tactical, nimble, and frugal approach—wearing multiple hats to deliver results efficiently. Later roles at Fortune 7 CVS Health, State Farm, and John Deere built strategic, scalable expertise: refactoring processes, rallying enterprise teams, and resolving cultural challenges through relationship-building and domain knowledge. I validated innovations via focus groups and user research to drive adoption and impact.	Key Differentiators: Delivers clarity in ambiguity, aligning teams through data-driven, empathetic leadership. Solves root problems under pressure and applies systems thinking to improve efficiency and reusability.
