ABOUT MANISH CHAWLA
I am a growth-focused technology executive with a passion for building organizations where customer obsession, operational discipline, and empowered teams come together to drive lasting impact.Over the past three decades, I have led transformations across the globe —scaling revenue, turning around underperforming units, and improving customer experience at companies like AspenTech and IBM. Whether growing ARR from $700M to $1B+, improving customer retention from 80% to 90%, or driving double-digit margin turnarounds, my approach has remained consistent: clarify the mission, align cross-functional teams, and execute with purpose.A key part of that execution has been leveraging AI to transform both our customers’ operations and our own go-to-market engine.I have had the privilege of leading large, complex organizations spanning go-to-market, customer success, services, support, training, and ecosystem partnerships. What energizes me most is helping companies at inflection points—navigating transformation, unlocking growth, and building momentum that lasts.My leadership style is data-driven, collaborative, and deeply customer-centric. I believe the best outcomes happen when strategy is tightly linked to execution—and when people feel empowered, trusted, and aligned.
