About Balaji Yellavalli
With over 20 years of experience in the professional services and systems integration industry, I am a seasoned sales / PnL leader and a trusted executive client partner for global financial services, retail, and CPG industry segments. I have successfully sold, managed and scaled triple-digit million dollar businesses across consulting, digital and business process transformation domains, delivering high-value solutions and outcomes. I started out in this industry with a business and commercial applications focus but have rounded that out with more recent experience across multiple towers, including technology infrastructure, cloud, networks and digital workplace. While I have always been based in the US, I have had exposure to the European market, specifically the UK and DACH regions. In my most recent roles, I was the Executive Client Partner and Lead for Cloud Adoption across Global BFSI at HCLTech, a leading global technology and consulting firm as well as a Consult Partner at Kyndryl. I have worked for large Global Systems Integrators like Infosys in the prime of their growth cycle and also had an entrepreneurial stint with a PE-led smaller service provider. My mission is to help clients succeed in technology-enabled business transformation and accelerate hyperscaler & cloud adoption. I am passionate about, and frequently post/ blog here on topics related to cloud, fintech, and automation. I leverage my industry-domain expertise and advisor-channel relationships to create and execute winning strategies and land large deals.
