More about Hardik Bhatt:

In today's complex and highly competitive marketplace, transformation isn't a luxury. It's a critical need for a powerful, forward looking business.

That's why throughout my career as a business / technology executive and corporate board member, I have consistently delivered dramatic, large scale transformation with clear, direct ROI.

I collaborate with my executive peers to build a clear path forward and an effective, integrated ecosystem with technology recognized as a full partner in business transformation. I'm able to translate even the toughest, most complex technical challenges into clear business value and language to demonstrate the critical need for investment and buy in. I go above and beyond defined roles to add value across the enterprise.

In addition, as a recognized thought leader in the Smart / Connected Cities and IoT / IoE space, I've worked with 40 cities across 19 countries and the State of Illinois to build new paradigms and drive transformation. I also continue to provide IoT subject matter expertise and technical / business due diligence for a range of PE and VC investment firms.

My focus is a compelling vision paired with swift, seamless execution. I believe that it's critical in an emerging marketplace—like IoT—to deliver clear, rapid wins to demonstrate value and ROI. I leverage my ability to recognize the potential of small initiatives and transform them into major achievements that demonstrate our capabilities and serve as reference points to rapidly grow new business.

Finally, as a leader, I empower every member of my team to take full ownership for every phase of every initiative. I build borderless cultures in which every team member, stakeholder, and user recognizes the clear value of transformation.

Bottom line? I leverage my unique vision—encompassing IoT, smart / connected cities, and large scale transformation—to build and execute business / technology strategies that address the needs of a rapidly evolving marketplace.
