About Arjuna Velayudam

I work in PwC’s Deals Transformation practice, supporting complex M&A transactions across industries.Over the past several years, I’ve contributed to 25+ transactions, leading operational analysis, standalone modeling, and post-deal transition planning for multi-billion-dollar deals.My work increasingly centers on building systems that integrate fragmented operational and financial data into usable decision tools. Rather than static reporting, I focus on designing scalable analytics frameworks that help leadership teams monitor performance, allocate resources, and make informed investment decisions in real time.Across engagements, I lead cross-functional teams of 3–7, working directly with executive stakeholders while also designing and implementing the underlying analytical infrastructure.I’m particularly interested in how well-designed data systems can materially improve operational performance in complex environments.
