business ‘‘ TALKING //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// My team and I have the ability to see opportunities across businesses which places us in a great position to be business advocates and influencers. My management style is one of a strategic partner that can help enable intelligent risk taking with the help of data and insights. We as a company are looking to invest in all technologies that enable a digitally connected ecosystem which ensures Industry 4.0 is in play.

The journey of a package delivery is complex and one delay along the route could mean thousands of packages aren’t delivered on time. I would advise somebody looking to take on the same level of responsibility as me to be a student of the business, be wildly passionate about emerging technologies and its applicability to business problems, be courageous in identifying opportunities and be a servant leader in growing and motivating talent. n Sathish Muthukrishnan, Chief Digital and Information Officer www.intelligentcio.com
