About Preeti Gayatri
I operate at the intersection of strategic finance, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure—where capital allocation, cost governance, and operating models determine whether AI scales profitably or becomes runaway spend.I bring 15+ years of experience owning portfolio-level financial decisions across global ERP, payroll, and cloud ecosystems (Workday, SAP, Oracle). My role is not to “transform systems,” but to ensure finance data is decision-grade—enabling accurate cost attribution, capacity planning, and multi-year investment strategy at enterprise scale.At LinkedIn, I own finance strategy across 22 countries for a $400M+ portfolio, shaping $100M+ investment frameworks that guide AI, cloud, and ERP decisions. This work has reduced margin leakage, expanded TAM by 9%, improved forecasting accuracy, strengthened compliance by 18%, and accelerated international launches.I partner closely with executive leadership, engineering, and enterprise systems teams to translate architectural and AI investment decisions into long-range financial strategy and capital governance.Previously, at ADP, I led ERP-driven finance strategy for Fortune 500 clients, delivering recurring $750K+ annual savings per client while enabling faster, compliant global expansion.I am focused on my role where strategic finance, AI systems, and cloud economics intersect—owning decisions that shape how technology platforms scale responsibly.
