About Kalpesh Mehta

Technology executive with 25+ years of experience driving enterprise transformation across data, AI, cloud, and integration ecosystems. I advise organizations on modernizing their technology landscape, building scalable platforms, and unlocking business value through API-first and data-driven strategies. I have led $20M+ transformation programs and partnered with CIOs, CDOs, and business leaders to translate strategy into measurable outcomes.At Medifast, I led enterprise data and integration transformation, delivering a modern AWS-based data platform and API-led ecosystem that connected core business domains across eCommerce, ERP, and marketing systems. This enabled real-time analytics, improved customer engagement, and reduced platform costs by $2M+ while scaling enterprise capabilities for growth.At Kaplan, over nearly a decade, I led enterprise platform modernization and integration transformation. As the owner of content and media platforms (ECMS, DAM, LMS), I drove architecture, large-scale content migrations, and defined the cloud adoption roadmap. I later transitioned into enterprise integration leadership, modernizing legacy systems into a API-led architecture and enabling cloud-native, event-driven integration. I delivered scalable AWS based solutions powering platforms like DataHub and Voice of Student, and established enterprise standards for APIs, messaging, and DevOps—improving scalability, governance, and delivery velocity.Earlier, I delivered large-scale digital and integration solutions for global organizations including NBCUniversal and worked with the United Nations Development Programme, gaining global experience delivering technology solutions in complex, mission-driven environments.Beyond technology, I am deeply invested in building high-performing organizations. I have consistently developed next-generation leaders by mentoring architects and engineering managers, enabling them to grow into roles that balance strong technical depth with business and leadership acumen. This focus has allowed me to successfully transition responsibilities while ensuring continuity, scalability, and sustained organizational impact.I specialize in enterprise architecture, API-led integration (MuleSoft), cloud data platforms (AWS), and AI enablement—building scalable, secure, and future-ready technology ecosystems.I am passionate about bridging business and technology—helping organizations move from vision to execution and driving transformation that delivers lasting impact.
