Hello, my name is

Salil Ahuja

Technical Sales Executive

About me

After over 20 years of experience spanning development, product management, consulting and sales, I bring deep expertise in sales engineering, go to market and innovation

I love a good challenge, delivering success from impossible situations and innovation

When I started my career, I wanted to travel and learn about the technology business. Over the past twenty years, I have gained experience starting a company acquired by IBM,  launching the first enterprise chatbot, and revamping a product to grow.

At IBM, my role as Worldwide Sales Engineering Director in AIOPs and IT Automation involves steering a team of over 150 technical specialists, fostering an environment where innovation thrives. With the help of my team, we have successfully delivered AI-driven solutions that dramatically reduce MTTR and enhance event correlation, solidifying our position as industry front-runners.

Previously, as Program Director for GTM and Watson AIOps Elite Team, I managed a diverse team of cloud engineers, data scientists, and software engineers. Our collective efforts in validating the value of AI algorithms have been instrumental in garnering critical product feedback, which has translated into successful pre-launch customer engagements and strong launch customer references. This synergy of leadership and technical acumen is how we contribute to shaping the future of IT Automation
