This is a special episode for me, personally.
This marks 300 episodes of the Software People Stories. The journey has been very enriching. But more of that, in a few weeks, when we complete six years of the podcast.
In addition, the guest today is a person who has been a mentor to me and whose qualities technically and as a leader, I admire.
I am in conversation with Gunaseelan Narayanan, known as Guna. Guna is an executive coach with a long career in IT before that.
In this conversation, he talks about
- Two phases of his career
- Starting with FORTRAN programming and transitioning into microprocessors
- His career at HCL - the only company he was associated with throughout his career
- Shifting to creating user focused solutions and telecom areas
- Gaining experience with multi-national partnerships
Guna has over three decades of experience in the Information Technology industry. Currently he is an Executive Coach, helping senior executives enhance their leadership capabilities. He started his career as a software engineer in R&D department of Hindustan Computers Limited in 1979. He held various technical and managerial roles in HCL R&D and HCL-HP R&D before transitioning to HCL Technologies. In HCL Technologies he was in key delivery and business leadership roles including head of Engineering and R&D Services Line of Business and head of Delivery Excellence.
