Digital Transformation Expert with unique business strategy capabilities. Able to quickly walk in the customer's customer shoes to advance initiatives and solve the hardest problems with a creative approach based on 25 years of business experience and information technology.  

My observation is that some IT departments:  
1) Seek to acquire or implement state-of-the-art technology/apps without fully considering the holistic needs and benefit-cost analysis.
2) View their role as supporting the objectives of a cost center (overhead).
In contrast, as an executive leader I emphasize:  
1) Acquiring cost-effective, business-appropriate resources to achieve transformation goals.
2) Using IT as a means to obtain, retain and engage customers... generating sales and satisfied customers.

Bala Guntipalli’s passions and expertise are in digital transformation, agile software methodologies, cybersecurity and management consulting. My experiences and accomplishments have been mastered with 4 full time employers, 60 + clients and 200+ projects from 15 countries. Working closely with business leadership, I have managed staff successfully, both onshore and offshore, moving beyond order taking to enhance the product/offering with order shaping to bring C-suite’s vision and goals to reality. 
My education includes being a student of Harvard University, University of St. Thomas (MN), Madurai University & The Indian Institute of Technology in Cybersecurity: Managing Risk in the Information Age, Mini MBA in Healthcare, MBA, and Yearlong Intense course in IT. A recognized public speaker, moderator, an executive leader, a global IT sourcing company with 450 employees to support with my clients’ large emergency needs. I am enthusiastic in helping companies that want to digitally transform, providing efficient, cost-effective services - promoting success.

I embrace emerging technologies quickly, understanding the vital need to pivot, innovate, and disrupt —proven skills in Agile, Innovation, Pretotyping, IT Enabling, Partnerships, Proper-Outsourcing: Onsite/Offshore, Design Thinking, Problem Solving and go-to-market strategies. My thinking and planning includes both short-term needs and long-term objectivesManaged cross-cultural teams globally, giving 24 hr. coverage, and moving forward efficiently. 

I doesn’t just build partnerships. I create the RIGHT partnerships guided by the “Rotary 4 Way Test” which emphasizes TRUTH, FAIRNESS, GOODWILL, and BENEFITING to all concerned.
