A former Research VP, Data & Analytics for Gartner, Sanjeev was bitten by the data bug 30 years ago, and it's never let go. It started with an accidental introduction to dBASE III+ and years of being an Oracle evangelist, and he's now deep into Big Data and the plethora of technologies that complement the Data Science space.

In between, he's helped the world's largest companies select the right cloud platforms, has run large mission-critical projects, and assisted senior management executives in making tough strategic decisions to ensure optimal solutions to complex problems such as the Wells Fargo / Wachovia merger.

On top of all that, Sanjeev has published many white papers and has been among the top 10 speakers at numerous conferences such as Oracle World, BI Brain Trust and Informatica World. He created University of California, Berkeley Extension's advanced Oracle training curriculum.
