About Shashank Tomar

I lead technology portfolio in large and midsized organizations, aligning investments with business goals. With 20+ years leading digital transformations in manufacturing, energy, and software/services, I enable companies to unlock value, adapt to change, and scale with confidence.Here are a few highlights: As Fractional CEO, I revitalized an industrial automation firm—boosting margins 20%, eliminating liquidity challenges, and positioning the business to double revenue within 12 months. As Director of Technology & Innovation at Tex-Isle, a leading U.S. manufacturer of pipes and tubes, I built a business-aligned tech portfolio, standardized digital maintenance across plants, implemented OEE, enabled data analytics platform that provides transparency in business KPIs, improved asset utilization by 10%, cut unplanned downtime by 10%, and reduced unit production costs. At Schlumberger (Cameron), I directed global IT programs across 42 countries, leading teams of 50+ and delivering 30+ SAP and non-SAP initiatives within $5M–$20M budgets. I led a seamless SAP rollout for 17K users, integrated new and legacy SAPs, and established a data governance program that improved capacity utilization 15% for engineers. At Caterpillar, I architected a 3D assembly planning platform that delivered $6M in NPI savings across five plants while helping Tech Mahindra scale a new PLM consulting practice from $0 to $12M in revenue.Across each role, my approach has been consistent: Align executive vision with operational reality. Build high-performing, accountable teams. Use data, analytics, ERP, CRM, CMMS, and IT/OT convergence to drive measurable impact. Protect business continuity with robust cybersecurity and change management.What sets me apart is the ability to move seamlessly from C-suite strategy to roadmapping, program management to hands-on execution—leveraging deep experience with diverse technologies across functions while prioritizing change management and user experience. I guide organizations through transformation that secures buy-in, earns trust, delivers results, and builds cultures of innovation.Manufacturing | Energy | ERP | CRM | SAP | MES | OEE | IT M&A | Data IntegrationsProgram Management | Budget | OCM | Roadmaps | Talent DevelopmentData Lake | Data Warehouse | MDM | Azure | Cybersecurity | ML | AIShashank Tomar, MBA, MS (Mech), SSBB, LPM, PMI PMP, CSM, CSPOPh:71••••••90
