ABOUT RAKESH KUMAR

I help people and organisations understand the possibilities of emerging technologies particularly in the areas of AI, data analytics and cloud.Then I help them do remarkable things with those technologies.I am an accomplished visionary executive with significant international leadership experience. Having managed global teams in IBM, HP, Meta Group & Gartner, I have strong all round operational and business development expertise. As a technology thought leader, I advise board level executives of established organisations and start-ups on technology, business development and organizational change strategies. I have worked with many Government agencies around the world developing programs and directives associated with the implementation of emerging technologies.I am the author of a large volume of thought provoking research papers and articles both in deep technology areas and in the field of business strategy and change. My interests include human motivation, psychology and intercultural training - the link between the psychological and mythological aspects of the working world. I believe we need a new covenant between individuals and corporations and will be publishing a book on this soon. I am regularly featured in the business press such as the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal and have appeared on television and radio.
