About Yogi K.

I specialize in creating new foundational teams from scratch and also bringing order to chaos for existing setups. With 25+ years of global experience across engineering, infrastructure, operations, and cybersecurity, I thrive in environments where people, processes, and technology are fragmented - and I unify them into resilient, high-performing systems.Over the past 14 years at Salesforce, I’ve led major transformations: rebuilding teams post-layoffs, integrating global operations across regions, and evolving functions into true engineering powerhouses. Whether it’s automating thousands of analyst hours, reducing triage response SLAs from hours to minutes, or lifting employee engagement from 2.9 to 4.8, I’m passionate about delivering measurable outcomes that improve resilience, efficiency, and morale.My leadership philosophy blends technical depth with human development. I believe lasting transformation comes from investing in people - coaching, mentoring, and creating structures that enable growth while embedding innovation through AI, automation, and DevOps.Looking ahead, I am focused on technology leadership roles where I can continue to act as a bridge between HQ and India leadership, modernize global platforms, simplify complexity, and help organizations thrive through disruption.

Experience

   Nov 2025 — Present · Bengaluru, IN

   I’ve started a new chapter at Cloudflare as Director of Infrastructure Engineering and India Infra Site Lead in Bengaluru.Over the years, I’ve learned that the work that lasts is built on two things: people and purpose. Cloudflare’s mission of helping build a better Internet and its culture of curiosity and engineering excellence, felt like the right place to bring those together.In this role, I’ll be focused on scaling high-impact engineering teams, strengthening global infrastructure, and shaping Cloudflare’s India presence into a world-class hub for innovation and resilience.Excited for what lies ahead!
