Monica Aggarwal — CEO
I am a global leader and seasoned executive with a stellar record of leading multi-billion-dollar businesses toward revenue growth and market expansion. I bring a unique blend of engineering, product and commercial skills across strategic partnerships, software development, strategy, large-scale platform development and partner management. As a trusted advisor to partners and clients, I focus on creating seamless experiences and jointly winning in the market. In my most recent role as the Vice President for ISV Ecosystems and Technology Partnerships at IBM, I steered a $2.1 billion dollar global P&L to double-digit growth, expanding the spectrum from startups, SMBs to enterprises. From launching a new partner program and GTM strategy, designing and introducing a groundbreaking embeddable AI portfolio, scaling developer productivity to launching SaaS offerings with hyperscalars, I have a strong bias for action. Prior to this, I led 2K+ global engineering and ISV partner teams in a strategic pivot to hybrid cloud and AI, with best-in-class NPS, and created new revenue streams for modernization and automation. Before relocating to the US, I established a multi-site, world-class engineering lab in India across systems, software, and ecosystem partnerships and created a strategic global development footprint for customers. A horizontal thinker with astute business acumen, I served on IBM Ventures, advising on investments in early-stage software companies and the elite Acceleration Team, propelling growth and transformation. As a trusted C-suite partner and an Executive Advocate for top strategic accounts, I orchestrated stakeholder buy-in for complex, high-value engagements, leading to joint wins. I served in various leadership roles - Review Board for Distinguished Engineer appointments, IBM India Board of Directors and CSR Committee lead, Integration Executive for acquisitions & divestitures at Fortune 100 scale and Executive sponsor for Trailblazers, a program for developing women in engineering. A global business and tech advisor to organizations, I am a passionate leadership and executive coach focused on creating a culture of growth for individuals, teams and organizations.
