Ashish Jain — Director of Engineering
As a senior technology executive with 18+ years of experience, I specialize in building two foundational pillars essential to organizational success: 💲 Product Assets - Architecting and scaling enterprise-grade platforms. 🥷 People Assets - Building globally distributed, high-performing engineering teams. My leadership is grounded in designing and delivering mission-critical, large-scale systems, from core data platforms for telecom giants (Tier-1 telecom operators like AT&T, Bell, BT, Comcast, T-Mobile, Airtel and Vodafone) to orchestrating high-volume consumer applications powering multi-billion-dollar businesses for B2B and B2C offerings of one of the world's largest Travel company, Expedia Group. Throughout my career, I’ve consistently translated ambitious strategic visions into impactful technological realities. At Expedia Group, I transformed global operations by establishing foundational capabilities, including an Infrastructure Automation Platform, modernizing Data Center operations to match cloud-level agility and reliability. Building upon this success, I subsequently envisioned and executed the creation of Expedia’s flagship Workflow Orchestration & Automation Platform, executing hundreds of thousands of daily workflows, processing millions of events, and ensuring full automated recovery, protecting critical revenue streams. Beyond this, my strategic enterprise initiatives include: ✅ ServiceNow Platform Optimization: Secured ~$300K in annual license savings, established sustainable governance models. ✅ Enterprise Application Portfolio Management (eAPM): Launched new business capability on a CSDM-aligned framework, resulting in a single source of truth that delivered enhanced visibility into our entire application landscape, enabling improved data-driven decision-making, strategic alignment, risk mitigation, and reducing costs through smart portfolio rationalization. At my core, I am an inclusive, purpose-driven leader dedicated to cultivating collaborative cultures where teams feel empowered and inspired to deliver excellence. My teams span regions globally - including APAC, EMEA, NORAM, and LATAM - and consistently achieve top-tier scores in psychological safety, engagement, and inclusive leadership.
