Shivom Aggarwal — CTO
What happens when a researcher's curiosity meets a seasoned tech leader's drive? You get someone obsessed with not just understanding the future (think AI, Cybersecurity, Big Data, the Economics of the Internet) but actively building it. As Head of SOC at CMA CGM, I manage a 24x7 team spread around the world with group traversal focus (all entities included). With close to 15 years on the global tech stage, I thrive on translating complex concepts—from Explainable AI for Fintech (leading to a BPI Deeptech award at Bansira, a startup I founded and scaled as CTO with a team of 23 where we built B2B mobile apps with a React (Front), Java+GraphQL (microservices backend)+ AWS cloud (DevSecops) - Android & iOS Web app), managed another team of 34 (as Head of R&D) for product development, worked on social media strategy for BMGF and Zero-Trust Architecture principles, to insights from Mobile Big Data—into concrete, high-impact solutions. Also worked with M&A Advisory firm based in Munich focusing on TMT sector for buy-side deals & IT homogenization strategy. My journey has taken me from contributing to ETSI standards on AI Security and publishing on topics like NLP & AI-driven forecasting, to leading tech initiatives within giants like CMA CGM (across Finance, eCommerce, Cyber), advising Smardtv's leadership on architecture & product audit, guiding startups via Accelerateur M, and performing tech due diligence for Turenne Capital. As CEO & Co-Founder at Quantum Dynamics, and drawing on experience managing over 50 AI/cyber security projects, I bring a unique blend: the strategic foresight of a researcher combined with the hands-on, pragmatic execution needed to lead engineering teams and deliver results for SMEs and large groups. Looking for a Technical leader who can navigate both the whiteboard and the war room, blending deep technical knowledge with proven leadership to drive your vision forward?
