Headline Partner

Vikram Sharma, Director of Engineering Data and AI Platform, Lenovo USA

I am a Senior Director of Engineering, leading global platform and product engineering teams, technical program management, and DevOps. I oversee globally distributed teams. My expertise spans cloud architecture, SaaS platforms, DevOps, AI and ML, and digital transformation, with experience deploying large-scale cloud solutions using AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.  

A core focus of my leadership has been on data platform engineering and AI-driven transformations. I architected and led the development of a cloud-native Data Management Platform, providing scalable, high-performance storage and processing capabilities for structured and unstructured enterprise data. This platform underpins AI and ML Ops, generative AI and LLM-based applications, and predictive analytics, ensuring seamless data governance, security, and access control. I have spearheaded the design of AI-driven insights and anomaly detection systems, integrating advanced pattern recognition, RAG-based genAI applications, and scalable AI model deployment frameworks. 

From an organizational data strategy perspective, I have driven data democratization, self-service analytics, and cost-efficient data lake strategies, enabling enterprise-wide adoption of AI and ML capabilities. I optimized data workflows by unifying data ingestion, transformation, and real-time analytics within a central cloud-native platform, reducing latency while supporting multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures.
