About Hari Raghavan

Following my passion has led me to earn an extensive work experience of 2+ decades in the IT industry.From my first job at Tata Finance, I started my career by creating the organization’s E-commerce strategy at a time; when several organizations were unaware of the potential of E-commerce.Hereafter I worked with companies like General Electric, IBM, and Dell Technologies, where I developed expertise across the length and breadth of the IT channel landscape from Global System Integrators (GSI), national and regional resellers, Born-In-Cloud partners to Independent Software Vendors. I have had the privilege to set up successful partner businesses from scratch as well as build high-performing teams.Currently, I\'m working as the Strategy Lead for SI Partners, Asia - Pacific for Amazon Internet Services, formulating strategies that focus on bringing about a non-linear impact on revenue growth and development of the ecosystem.With my domain expertise and ability to formulate strategies with flawless execution, I have consistently delivered strong revenue growth and unleashed innovation that matters to our customers and partners.Best Partner Leader, APAC-2021,\"Think Big 2020\", and \" Most Valuable Person in Partner Business 2018\" are some of the awards I received as a recognition of the value I added to each of my roles and the growth that came along with it.My experience of working with the top System Integrator partners, Born-In-Cloud partners in India, and AWS distributors have helped me carve out well-defined strategies that accelerate growth and create win-win outcomes for AWS and the partner community. Many of these strategies have been adopted globally for their innovative nature.People management is a fundamental part of my personality. I believe as a leader, it is incumbent on us to ensure people’s well-being & success through our impact.For the other side of me, traveling is a passion that reinforces my belief in the universality of the various cultures I encounter. I am also a big foodie and an avid reader of history.If you have something interesting and helpful to share, let\'s connect and explore the new and unknown together.
