Summary
Gaurav Malhotra is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with over 8 years in senior engineering and architecture roles, now leading the tech vision at a stealth AI startup while continuing to run Gonnect, which he founded to drive enterprise AI strategy and platforms. He combines deep experience in multi-cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), microservices, domain-driven design and data engineering with a practical focus on AI governance — notably applying knowledge graphs to make AI decisions explainable to executives and regulators. His work has powered large retail and sports brands, including an H&M GCP-based retail intelligence platform and a multi-cloud foundation at Nike that contributed to €350M+ annual value. A hands-on architect at heart ("glorified developer"), he pairs product-minded engineering with operational rigor from earlier roles at Oracle, Ingenico and GlobalLogic. He holds advanced studies in data-driven decision making from Imperial Business School and has a long track record of building enterprise-grade, governance-first systems that balance innovation with accountability.
