How has your career experience to date empowered you to deliver in your current role as CEO at Mastek ?
“ I ’ ve worked for startups , venture capital companies , global blue chips like Raycore and then Northern Telecom , Hewlett-Packard and Sirco . There are always opportunities when markets go through structural change . I ’ ve seen the switch to the paperless office , then from data communications to networking and the transition from fixed-line telecoms to mobile . We went from analog to digital technologies and from building networks ourselves to buying the service . I ’ ve worked in services , software and hardware at companies large and small , experiencing how difficult it can be for incumbents to change . Look at what happened to Nokia and Ericsson who once dominated the mobile phone market … I aim to harness the energy , the focus and the accountability of a small company , but with the reach , the security and the brand of a large company , taking on the difficult task of blending those two into the perfect operating model for our customers so they can avoid being locked in the downward spiral of an outdated business model .”
