ABOUT PRITAM BHATTARAI

Hi There! I’m a corporate innovation leader with a decade of experience turning bold ideas into tangible business results. That work is built on making external innovation succeed within the complex realities of large enterprises.At The Clorox Company, I worked in R&D across new product development and process innovation before moving into the corporate innovation team. There, I managed new tools for innovating and ultimately led and operationalized an external innovation ecosystem that expanded Clorox’s ability to engage with emerging startup technologies.Today at VentureFuel, I lead a team of experienced corporate innovators and we partner with Fortune 500 leaders to bring high-value opportunities to market — from advanced materials and next-gen products to AI pilots, digital solutions, and new business models. We focus on removing the roadblocks of “not invented here” mindsets, building strategic pilot plans and commercialization paths, and delivering both near-term P&L results and long-term transformation.Whether I’m speaking at Innov8rs, Front End of Innovation, or Back End of Innovation, the best part is connecting with how others tackle the same challenges. If you’re passionate about commercializing tangible innovation, I’d love to connect!
