In the recent edition, CIOLook one of the popular digital business magazines is pleased to feature Gaurav Agarwaal, the Global Lead for Data & Analytics at Onix Networking Corp.

He is a visionary with a forward-looking mindset towards technology and business strategy. A change master and strategic thinker, he has emerged as a technology and business goal bridging leader who creates authentic value. Gaurav is a remarkable problem solver and coach who allows his teams to think out of the box. His leadership style is macro-think, strategic risk-taking, creating a data analysis culture and implementing it as actionable intelligence. With his personal passion for improvement, Gaurav is making the world where data means real outcomes and actual change. Cloud technology and data migration expert Onix Networking Corp. has flourished under his command.

His data and analytics skills have allowed Onix to lead new solutions to address the increasing demands of its customers. Another step-up move was in expanding from Solution Architect to Business Leader and Technology Thought Leader, expanding his horizon from technical delivery to organization building and leadership, definition of go-to-market strategy, and business strategy alignment with future technology. His cross-over experience has intensely influenced his leadership style. He can think big, look ahead to determine where the industry is trending and remain ahead of the curve.

What has driven him throughout his professional life is a passion for connecting the dots—discovering where next-gen technology meets business strategy to drive growth. He has powered IP-led growth and set his leadership style through strategic vision, numbers-driven risk taking, and investment in people and next-gen solutions.

At Avanade, Gaurav built Microsoft’s cybersecurity business from the ground up to a top digital transformation influencer. At Onix Networking Corp., he was able to establish a data migration and modernization business from scratch, and through the Datametica acquisition, there was an IP-driven strategy where the company was able to take old-school migration and flip it into data modernization and customer success.
