Devam Shah

Ahmedabad, Gujarat

I am a technology leader with extensive experience setting up comprehensive IT and security architectures from scratch in various industries, including US healthcare, Indian FinTech, EdTech, and defence. I possess hands-on experience with emerging technologies like I/OT, Microservices, robotics, backend technologies and processes of cloud (DC), RPA and AI/ML. Furthermore, with analytical skills, I have enabled business functions and significantly increased outputs. I have demonstrated the ability to digitise and manage IT for business functions, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, NOC/SOC, IT help desk, open-source adoption, and other IT initiatives.

I have a proven track record of success in handling mergers and acquisitions from the IT and security point of view and closing 50+ B2B deals with robust security and privacy postures. I have held leadership positions in two bootstrapped product-based companies and was a core team member of the most valued EdTech startup in which I learned to handle VCs and investors.

I founded an IT, security, and compliance company in the US healthcare sector, where I set up the entire business model and created robust security and compliance strategies. Moreover, I have managed the security of Asia's first supercomputer, worked on US defence projects, contributed to Indian space projects, and provided cyber forensic outputs in some of the biggest scams in Indian history. During economic downturns, I have demonstrated innovative thinking and cost-cutting abilities while ensuring no employees were laid off under my leadership.

By highlighting these achievements, I aim to showcase my expertise, experience, and success in IT and cybersecurity. My skills and leadership qualities may be valuable to investors and founders looking for a strong and competent technical leader to join their teams.
