Success Story

Led the Lead-to-Cash systems integration for the Cohesity-Veritas merger — the workstream that protected revenue continuity during one of the most complex enterprise technology mergers in the data management space. Collapsed a 30+ year heritage systems landscape, carrying tens of thousands of customizations and deep product complexities, into a modern Cohesity 2.0 architecture in under 8 months. Zero disruption to sales operations, order processing, or revenue recognition. Recognized on the CIO 100 List as a model for how post-merger revenue-side integration can be executed at speed.
