SKILLS
ABOUT GIRISH PRASAD
I am a technology leader, architect, product builder and entrepreneur with over two decades of experience building software products, engineering teams and technology organizations. I am the President and Co-Founder of Exathought, a software engineering and consulting company that I helped build from the ground up. I work closely with customers and leadership teams to understand complex business problems, shape technology strategy and turn ideas into practical, scalable solutions. I remain hands-on as an architect and product builder, with experience across software architecture, data engineering, cloud platforms, AI/GenAI and digital experiences. I particularly enjoy working at the intersection of technology, people and business problems — understanding how different stakeholders see a problem and finding solutions that work in the real world. Over the years, I have built and led engineering and product organizations, worked with global enterprises, and helped customers evolve from initial engineering engagements into long-term technology partnerships. My current areas of focus include AI-enabled software engineering, data and digital platforms, and customer-facing technology, with deep experience in Life Sciences and Automotive. I enjoy meeting people who are building something, solving a difficult problem or thinking differently about how technology can create business value.
