Karthik Balakrishnan is a data and AI leader with 15+ years driving digital transformation and measurable business outcomes across supply chain, commercial, services and finance functions. He blends deep technical fluency in big data, advanced analytics, cloud (AWS), RPA and ERP with hands-on product and platform scaling—having grown teams from single projects to 80+ engineers and led 250+ analytics products. A seasoned CxO partner and GE global leadership alumnus, he has repeatedly turned analytics into operational productivity, margin and cash benefits while building global talent and IP. Now leading Global Data & AI for AstraZeneca’s supply chain strategy, he brings rare experience shipping customer-facing IoT and predictive maintenance solutions for airlines as well as enterprise architecture for commercial growth.
