About Anand Chittoor

I build and scale global operations organizations from zero to enterprise scale. Over the past decade, I\'ve established delivery centers across continents, scaled teams from single digits to hundreds, and driven operational transformations that deliver measurable business value.At Cubic Transportation Systems, I lead a 400+ member global organization across North America, Europe, India, and Asia-Pacific supporting major transit agencies serving 15M+ daily riders. I partner with executive leadership, cross-functional teams, external partners, and the Board on enterprise transformation initiatives spanning Global delivery model optimization, AI-driven test automation, and strategic program execution.At Qualitest (Client - Google), I pioneered Latin American market entry by establishing the company\'s first delivery center in Mexico City from ground zero—earning the QChamp Award from Qualitest\'s CEO and Google leadership recognition. I scaled from 0→100+ employees across 27+ nationalities within 12 months, achieving industry-leading operational metrics. I oversaw QA for strategic Google products (Search, Lens, YouTube, Bard/Gemini), driving pilots that supported Google\'s competitive AI initiativesAt John Deere, I secured Executive approval for a $75M strategic technology roadmap, built a Quality Management team from 0→25 members across the USA and India, and led SAFe transformation, establishing the framework and training teams across North America, Europe, and India.I thrive in ambiguous, high-stakes environments—building teams in non-English markets, establishing operations in new geographies, transforming delivery models at scale, and driving organizational change. My leadership philosophy:(1) Build inclusive, high-performance communities where cultural differences become strategic advantages,(2) Establish metrics-driven systems that scale,(3) Partner strategically with C-suite, cross-functional teams, and external advisors.I\'ve worked with distributed teams across 15+ countries spanning 5 continents, gaining expertise in Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Having traveled to 47 countries, I\'ve developed proven cultural intelligence that shapes how I build global teams. a•••••••@gmail.com
