About

“Transformation is not about velocity; it’s about outcomes.” — Peter Drucker In the last 30+ years, I’ve worked across IT services, manufacturing, higher education, and enterprise consulting, helping organizations move from fragmented systems to resilient, scalable digital platforms. In recent years, I’ve delivered a 40% OPEX reduction and a 90% reduction in security incidents while enabling M&A and pre-IPO readiness. I’ve also driven large-scale application rationalization with a 120- member team and accelerated value realization from a $10M AI-first portfolio. Earlier in my career, I delivered India’s first Salesforce Higher Education implementation, managed $100M+ global programs, tripled enterprise revenue, increased client satisfaction by 40% with a 45- member global support team, and secured $81.25M in enterprise and e-governance wins. My approach is grounded in enforcing strong architecture governance, aligning technology investments to business priorities, and ensuring security and compliance are built into the foundation, not added later. I welcome connections where our values, purpose, and approach to impact align. 📩 sandiipsbansal@gmail.com Subscribe my Newsletter: https://sandiipbansal.kit.com/sign-up
