Vikram Srivastava

About

Engineer.
Strategist.
Leader.

I'm a Senior Program Manager and licensed Professional Engineer with over a decade of experience turning complex, high-stakes programs into measurable business outcomes. My career has spanned the full spectrum — from designing hydro-mechanical systems on a 7,000 PSI press to founding PMOs and establishing $500M+ multi-generational product roadmaps.

What drives me is the intersection of strategy and execution. I don't just plan programs — I build the governance structures, the teams, and the cultures that make those programs succeed. Whether leading a $300M Data Center launch under accelerated timelines or driving a 4× cycle time improvement across multi-site operations, I bring engineering rigor and executive-level thinking to every challenge.

I hold a PMP, PE license, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and completed Harvard Business School's CORe program with High Honors.
