Shivangi Dhakad

Hi, I’m Shivangi, a Data & AI leader with 10+ years of experience building, scaling, and modernizing data & ML platforms, products and teams across global companies like Booking.com, Microsoft, Media.net.

Throughout my career, I’ve navigated the full spectrum of Data and ML engineering. From building real-time systems and cloud migrations to enabling Generative AI use cases and leading high-impact strategic initiatives. I’ve hired and grown Data and ML teams, designed scalable architectures, led governance and compliance efforts (including AI Act and DMA), and built data products that power business decisions and user experiences at scale.

I mentor professionals and aspiring leaders who are
- Making a career transition into Data, ML, or GenAI roles
- Navigating challenges in engineering leadership or team growth
- Looking for strategy-oriented coaching to expand beyond hands-on coding
- Preparing for interviews or designing career roadmaps

I also advise startups and scale-ups on:
- Data & ML engineering strategy
- GenAI adoption and product integration
- Building high-performing data & ML teams
- Designing scalable data architectures
- Prioritisation, roadmap planning, and org design for data and AI initiatives

My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Whether you're an individual looking to grow or a company seeking clarity on how to scale with AI, I bring structured guidance, practical insights, and real-world experience.

If you're navigating growth, change, or scale in this fast-evolving data/AI space, I’d love to support your journey.
