Ashish Kashliwal — Program Manager

Software Asset Management (SAM) Analyst and Senior Program Manager with 20+ years of experience delivering large-scale digital transformation, cloud modernization, and governance-driven technology programs across automotive, retail, and healthcare domains. My career blends two complementary strengths: leading enterprise programs with precision and driving SAM operations with a focus on compliance, accuracy, and process maturity. In my current SAM role, I work with Snow Atlas (earlier Snow License Manager) to manage entitlements, reconciliation, compliance reporting, and governance activities. I bring working knowledge of VMware, Adobe, and Microsoft licensing models and continue to deepen my expertise through hands-on experience and structured learning. My focus is on strengthening audit readiness, improving data quality, and building scalable SAM processes that reduce risk and support informed decision-making. Before transitioning into SAM, I spent over a decade leading high-impact programs at Tata Consultancy Services, managing a $12M+ portfolio and overseeing 7–8 concurrent initiatives across development, data engineering, cloud, and QA. I have successfully driven AWS cloud migrations, digital modernization programs, and DevOps/CI/CD transformations that improved productivity by 25%, reduced operational costs by 20%, and accelerated delivery velocity. My leadership approach emphasizes governance, stakeholder alignment, risk mitigation, and measurable business outcomes. This combined background allows me to approach SAM with a program manager’s mindset—structured, data-driven, and outcome-focused. I excel at bridging business and technology, simplifying complex problems, and building processes that scale. Key Strengths: • Software Asset Management (SAM) • Snow License Manager & Snow Atlas • Entitlement Management & Reconciliation • Compliance Reporting • Software Licensing (VMware, Adobe, Microsoft – Working Knowledge) • Program & Project Management (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) • Cloud Strategy & Migration (AWS) • DevOps, CI/CD & Automation • Digital Product & Dashboard Implementation • Cross-functional Leadership (70+ associates) • Stakeholder Engagement & Executive Reporting • Budget Management & Cost Optimization I thrive in environments that demand structure, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
