Bio
Vidya Vankayala
Giri is a visionary. He is able to see trends and predict where a product or capability needs to land to offer the largest differentiation from competitors and best advantage to end clients. He does this with a deep understanding of the macro-world of products and services and with decades of experience with leading industry players. Giri combines business development, strategy, product leadership and commercial savvy to define concrete plans and actions to help his teams and clients. Giri has a keen commercial sense of what it means to be win-win in utility and energy sectors, which requires a very unique and disciplined view of the regulatory and risk-managed approach in our industry. As client, Giri is highly disciplined, has a clear view of what is required and why and links trends to commercial outcomes for his firm. He is a pleasure to work with and always offers great insights by translating 'technical speak' to commercial realities. Giri is a gifted influencer where he can bring technical, commercial, product and end-use groups and reach a common agreement on what ends up being good for all parties. I consider him a great asset to our industry and look forward to seeing more of his visionary approaches take shape in creating resilient power systems.

Giri is a great innovator, entrepreneur and leader. His positive energy can make team do wonders. I was a pleasure to work with him and be part of a chain reaction of innovations at GE. I am sure whichever product or business he builds next will have his touch of ideas and innovation.
