With more than three decades of leadership with Fortune 100 giants and startups, across India, the Middle East, and the US, Venki Mahadevan has gone beyond the boardroom role of CIO to become a global transformation catalyst — a guide who helps marquee clients, senior leaders, CXOs, and boards decode leadership archetypes, shift mindsets, and unlock performance on strategy, innovation, and transformation. A Fellow of the British Computer Society and a Fellow of ISPMA®, Venki mentors future leaders at Columbia University, New York and Northeastern University, Boston, he has also been honoured with the Peter Drucker Award for Excellence in Management. He has
been inducted into the “Technology Hall of Fame” But Venki’s style is not about frameworks on slides or corporate jargon. It’s about stories that land, humor that disarms, and insights that stick. He blends ancient wisdom with modern boardroom realities, drawing from his global CIO journey and his unique ability to make the complex, human and actionable. Beyond leadership consulting, Venki is a global voice in media: he hosts ZENPod, a podcast
streamed across all major platforms and UK radio; and anchors TITAN TALKS, a technology talk show uniting leaders and visionaries worldwide. His reflective micro-series, #InAMinuteWithVenky, inspires audiences with bite-sized wisdom. Whether through his signature workshop Leadership Archetypes Decoded™, his immersive boardroom playbooks, or his storytelling keynotes, Venki’s mission is simple:
To help leaders see themselves differently — so their people and organizations can too.
