Anupam Shah — Director of Engineering

As an Associate Director at BlueJeans by Verizon, I bring over 19 years of experience in product development and software engineering leadership to the media delivery domain. I am passionate about building, leading, and mentoring geographically distributed high-performance engineering teams that deliver innovative and scalable solutions for real-time and distributed systems, video streaming, and cloud infrastructure management. I have been extensively involved in the entire product lifecycle, from conceptualization to successful implementation, of a new product line, BlueJeans Events, that transformed an idea into a revenue-generating business. I also drove a massive organizational shift to a chapter squad model to provide more efficient project delivery and predictability. Additionally, I have reduced the cost of operations by 80% by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in the systems. I have also recruited, identified, mentored, and developed leaders from both internal and external sources, establishing a robust first-level leadership layer. My specialties include engineering best practices, cost engineering, mentoring, hiring, and team building. I have also received Excellence in Architecture and Customer Satisfaction awards for my contributions.
