Nearform welcomes Deepak Vensi as Global Head of Consulting

“The entire Nearform team is delighted to welcome Deepak Ramchandani Vensi as our new Global Head of Consulting. Internally, he will lead the connection between our Sales, Solutions and Delivery capabilities. Externally, he will drive a consulting-led approach that helps our enterprise clients navigate the ambiguity and complexity of AI solutions and transformation, as part of our ongoing mission to partner with enterprises for AI-native delivery that translates into measurable results,” says Ciarán Cosgrave, Nearform’s CEO.

Deepak brings over 15 years of experience as a technology builder and business operator in consulting and tech product startups. Most notably he's helped build three transformational consultancies at HPE, Contino and Mesh-AI, leading enterprise transformations across data, AI, cloud and modern engineering. He's worked with executive teams to rethink delivery models and embed modern ways of working, and he's designed platforms used by millions of users.

Deepak recently shared his thoughts about how his role supports Nearform’s mission: "AI-native engineering is proving truly transformational and challenging at the same time. Now more than ever, organisations really need to rethink how they deliver in this new paradigm, without cognitively offloading the technical craft involved in building impactful products and services. At Nearform, we have the experience and the technical foresight to help our clients differentiate between reality and hype, transform the way they operate and bring the perfect balance between human and AI as part of their engineering.”

Deepak strengthens Nearform’s leadership team at a critical moment. As we scale our business to meet the rapidly growing demand for AI-native engineering, having a leader of Deepak's experience setting the standard for how we sell and engage with clients is exactly what we need. His emphasis on maintaining the nature of code as “craft” aligns closely with Nearform’s 15-year heritage of an all-senior team of engineers taking an approach of craftsmanship, in both our collaborative problem-solving approach with clients as well as in the development of breakthrough digital products and platforms.

But it’s not all work all the time, of course. As Deepak notes, "Outside of work, I'm kept busy by my 10-month-old daughter, geeking out on watches, and catching up on F1 highlights." He will surely enjoy Nearform’s F1 Slack channel, when not staying abreast of the latest market developments in AI.

Nearform’s mission since its inception was to deliver on the promise and potential of cutting-edge technologies to deliver positive value for both users and enterprises. Deepak’s role indicates that, while that mission has not changed, it requires forward thinking and AI expertise to continue to be a trusted partner to enterprise leaders today.
