About Rajesh Kosuri

I am a business-focused technologist and transformation leader with nearly 30 years of experience spanning core manufacturing and global technology leadership. I began my career in the steel industry, where I learned the fundamentals of operations, efficiency, and large-scale problem-solving — lessons that continue to shape my approach to building and scaling technology organizations today.My journey since then has been defined by leading digital transformation, building global capability centers, and driving business impact through technology across the Americas, Europe, and APAC. I believe technology is not just an enabler but a catalyst for reimagining how organizations operate, innovate, and grow.With academic foundations from IIM Kozhikode, IIM Lucknow, and BITS Pilani, and leadership roles at Accenture, HCL, sa.global, Technogen, and now Mattel Global Business Services, I have consistently translated complex technology landscapes into strategies that accelerate enterprise growth and resilience.To further strengthen my ability to bridge technology, business, and leadership, I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) with a specialization in Generative AI at Golden Gate University (San Francisco, USA) — exploring how emerging technologies can redefine organizational strategy, innovation, and the future of work.Today, as Country Head and GCC Leader for Mattel in India, I am honored to be the first employee at MTIC (Mattel Technology and Innovation Center, Hyderabad) — setting it up from the ground up and shaping it into a world-class hub that reflects Mattel’s culture of innovation. MTIC will play a pivotal role in supporting some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price, American Girl, Masters of the Universe, and UNO.I thrive on envisioning what’s possible, mobilizing global teams around that vision, and turning it into sustainable business value.
