Dev Kewalramani
Enterprise AI Commercialization Executive
MBA PMP CSM ITIL
Enterprise AI has a commercialization problem. Most companies can build. Very few have leaders who understand how to sell into a Fortune 500 C-Suite, structure a proof of concept that converts, and deliver at a scale the enterprise actually trusts. That gap is where I operate.
AI Commercialization
Advising early-stage AI companies on enterprise GTM strategy and proof of concept execution, translating agentic AI capability into commercial frameworks that accelerate Fortune 500 adoption across financial services and insurance verticals.
Revenue Excellence
Surpassed revenue targets by 80% (2021) and 10% (2022); secured the largest ServiceNow deal in Computacenter U.S. history while sustaining 95% on-time delivery and profitable growth across Security, Cloud, and Managed Infrastructure.
Academic Innovation
Spearheaded addition of a 2027 AI curriculum track at Clemson University as Chairman of the Industry Advisory Board, directly connecting next-generation research with enterprise technology requirements.
Customer Success
Elevated client retention and engagement, boosting NPS by 20%, reducing response times by 30%, and lowering turnover by 20% through data-driven enablement and proactive service frameworks.
Program Leadership
Orchestrated $20M to $120M enterprise programs across Americas, EMEA, and APJ, integrating delivery post-M&A; recognized as EMC Project Manager of the Year for excellence in global program execution.
