About Sunita Upadrasta

With over a decade of experience in the tech industry, my journey has included building and leading high-performing engineering teams, most recently as Associate Director of Software Development at Verizon. In that role, I focused on fostering technical vision, driving cross-functional alignment, and delivering platform-scale solutions with measurable impact.At Verizon, I honed foundational strengths in technical execution and strategic project management—skills that proved critical in my earlier role as Senior Manager of System Engineering. My core competencies lie in spearheading initiatives that not only meet but consistently exceed organizational goals, all while aligning with Verizon’s mission to innovate and lead in the telecommunications space.I’m currently on a planned career break—taking time to recharge, reflect, and invest in continuous learning—after 15+ years of delivering transformation at scale. This time has reinforced my passion for engineering leadership, and I’m energized to return to a mission-driven role where I can drive technical excellence and build resilient, collaborative teams.I bring diverse perspectives and a growth mindset to every team I join, united by a shared commitment to impact, quality, and a culture of continuous improvement.
