Ajay Karippot
Senior Director of Product Management

I am passionate about transforming big ideas into reality and guiding teams through successful change initiatives. With over fifteen years of global experience in new product development, P&L management, and business growth strategy, I have collaborated closely with senior leadership executives to drive impactful results. My international experience spans Asia Pacific, Europe, and the US, where I've led diverse teams, tackled complex business challenges, and built innovative products that meet critical market needs.

Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered double-digit revenue improvements, advanced technological capabilities, and secured strategic partnerships to fuel growth. I am often sought out for roles requiring aggressive goals—whether revitalizing a declining business, driving expansion, or leading transformative change. My experience spans various sectors, including technology, software, education, non-profit, fintech, and publishing, across organizations of all sizes, from non-profits to publicly traded companies.

My core expertise includes product management, international expansion, innovation strategy, market and customer segmentation, and strategic mergers and acquisitions. I leverage data-driven decision-making and financial analysis to create value and improve performance. With a strong foundation in enterprise applications and business intelligence analytics, I bring the leadership skills necessary to innovate, transform, and drive growth in global markets.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading technology articles, and blogging about emerging trends like MOOCs, BYOD, gamification, and blockchain.
