Background

About Krishna Kanodia

I didn’t start in tech. I began as a commerce student in high school, tallying balance sheets until machine languages and algorithms sparked a shift I didn’t see coming. That curiosity led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Information Technology, where I learned to solve complex problems through technical execution. After graduation, I joined Deloitte as an Associate Analyst. An experience that gave me front-row exposure to the business side of large-scale enterprise work. There I managed QA on multi-million-dollar Salesforce projects, led cross-cloud integrations, streamlined workflows, facilitated stakeholder alignment across functions and used tools like SQL, Tableau, and Jira to bring structure to fast-paced enterprise systems. But with every project, I found myself asking bigger questions: not just what we were building, but why? Driven to understand the bigger picture, I joined Columbia University’s MS in Technology Management, where I’ve explored AI, cloud strategy, innovation at scale and lots more, all while learning through deep collaboration with a brilliant, diverse peer group. I didn’t stop at the classroom. I stepped into the startup world with Network Tree, a NYC-based company, where I led beta testing and helped improve app performance by working directly with the founder, I saw firsthand how data, design and decision-making come together to create impactful user experiences Across every chapter - from commerce to code, Deloitte to startups. I’ve learned to thrive in ambiguity, adapt fast, and lead with intention. I’m now looking to bring that mindset to roles where strategy meets execution and innovation drives real impact. So lets connect?
