About

I'm a seasoned delivery leader with over 12 years of experience specializing in contract lifecycle management (CLM), customer relationship management (CRM), and Artificial Intelligence (AIML). At Icertis, as the AI Apps Delivery Head, I've led successful AI application deliveries in over 100 projects, focusing on value maximization and customer success. Previously, I co-founded the Salesforce practice at Mindtree, overseeing a team of 500+ members and achieving platinum partnership status with Salesforce. I excel in establishing and managing global delivery units, driving profitable growth, and executing transformative digital programs for lasting customer success. My expertise includes customer management, service delivery optimization, partner ecosystem development, and talent cultivation. Proficient in cutting-edge technologies like Icertis (CLM), Salesforce (CRM/Platform), and Artificial Intelligence (AIML), I'm passionate about solving complex business challenges and enhancing user experience. I live in Pune, India and when I am away from work I enjoy pursing my other passions in Hindustani classical vocals and wildlife photography. I'm always looking to grow my personal and professional network. Feel free to connect via LinkedIn or contact me directly at niket.redkar@gmail.com.
