Ravikumar Nandigam — Director of Engineering

As a Global Technology Leader, I have a proven track record of transforming data into a strategic asset that drives organizational growth and innovation. My expertise lies in architecting and scaling large-scale data platforms, leveraging cutting-edge AI/ML technologies, Generative AI, and advanced data engineering practices to enable data-driven decision-making across global enterprises. I specialize in developing federated data ecosystems and cloud-native architectures across AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI, while building next-generation data pipelines that deliver real-time analytics, seamless data integration, and scalable data solutions. As Director of Data Platforms and AI at S&P Global, I lead strategic data initiatives that align with both business objectives and customer needs, modernizing our platforms to support advanced internal analytics and deliver state-of-the-art data capabilities to clients. In my current role, I oversee Database Engineering, Database Operations, Big Data, Data Lakes, Data Analytics Platforms, Data Arch & Engg, and AI/ML. Key recent accomplishments include the creation of the ASK Platform (a Generative AI Accelerator that evolved into the Spark Platform), the implementation of enterprise-grade data protection solutions, and advancing hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, particularly through the onboarding of Oracle Cloud. My work also emphasizes data governance, security, compliance, and the evolution of API-driven architectures. I ensure our data platforms meet the highest industry standards, while fostering seamless collaboration across Business, Application, Information Security, Audit, Compliance, Cloud, Storage, and Network teams. A strategic thinker with deep technical expertise in Python and C/C++, I have developed and automated data pipelines, AI/ML models, and workflows that bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy. I have mentored and developed over 30 engineers into high-performing technology leaders within their domains. As a lifelong learner, I hold over 20 industry certifications and recently completed a Master’s in Computer Science (AI/ML) from IIIT-Hyderabad, one of India’s leading research institutions. Additionally, I serve as a board member of the EssentialTech New York Chapter. Notable recent achievements at S&P Global include: CEO Recognition Award (Q1 2024) Bladerunner Program Award (Q2 2024) Digital Solutions: Raising the Bar (Q3 & Q4 2023)
