Background

About Krishna Kishore Chandury

I’m a digital transformation leader and asset performance expert with 17+ years of cross-industry experience spanning power generation, cement, oil & gas, utilities, and industrial AI. My career bridges the factory floor and the boardroom — from hands-on power plant operations and simulator-based operator training to leading global AI-enabled reliability and asset optimization programs. I’ve delivered enterprise-scale deployments of APM, AIM, OTS, and GenAI-powered Virtual Engineers, enabling measurable gains in reliability, efficiency, and operational risk reduction. Recently, in a startup leadership role, I helped scale annual recurring revenue to $6M with 90%+ customer retention, building and mentoring a 21-member global team of industry consultants and customer success managers, all united by a customer-first delivery culture. My work sits at the intersection of data science, reliability engineering, and business outcomes — turning complex sensor data into predictive insights for CXOs, reducing downtime by up to 30%, and unlocking millions in annual savings.
