Abhijit Sahay Joins Altimetrik As New CTO

Abhijit will lead Altimetrik’s efforts to develop a full suite of data and analytics capabilities to better service its clients who are moving forward to grow their business.

FREMONT, CA: Altimetrik Corp, a business transformation accelerator, has appointed Abhijit Sahay as the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Data.  Sahay will be reporting to Raj Sundaresan, the COO of Altimetrik.

Sundaresan says that Data is the lifeblood of business in the 21st century, and Abhijit understands that both technology and process are needed to leverage data in a transformational way. He also mentioned that his leadership and skills in this discipline would benefit their clients, employees, and strategic partners.

Companies have started to invest more in data and analytics initiatives to develop the customer experience and drive business growth but often lack the resources and expertise. According to Gartner, 80 percent of institutions will initiate deliberate competency development in the field of data literacy, acknowledging their extreme deficiency. Here, Abhijit will lead Altimetrik’s efforts to develop a full suite of data and analytics capabilities to serve its clients better.

Before joining Altimetrik, Sahay was working as Senior Data Scientist at Mediaocean. He was heading AI and research for the world’s largest provider of software systems for planning and execution of advertising campaigns, processing $150 billion annually in media budgets from global brands and advertising agencies.

Sahay mentioned that Altimetrik is one of the few companies to realize that data is the key that can unlock businesses stuck in old ways of thinking and working.

Earlier he was working for Deutsche Bank as Director, R&D, and Technology, and Managing Director, Analytics at Vichara Technologies. He has also served Metrix LLC as Chief Scientific Officer; and Principal and Vice President of Engineering at TipTop Technologies. Sahay is a Ph.D. holder and an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley and a B. Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
