You are approving an eight-figure AI budget. The P&L is not moving.
Mahesh helps Boards and CEOs fix that. Independent. Operator-led. Tied to financial outcomes, not slides.
The problem is not the technology.
Every committee meeting has AI on the agenda. Pilots are shipping. Products are not scaling. Revenue is not moving. And no one can answer the one question that matters: where is the return.
The gap is not technical. It is the translation layer between Silicon Valley and the boardroom: capital allocated to the wrong bets, product strategy bolted on instead of built in, execution on a twelve-month roadmap in a market that moves every ninety days.
Three ways Mahesh can help Board Advisor
Board Advisor
Sits with your Board or Audit Committee as an independent expert. A second opinion on every major AI capital decision: which spending builds a moat and which is a vendor wrapper.
For Boards and Audit Committees making recurring AI capital decisions.
Interim CTPO
Steps in as Interim Chief Technology and Product Officer for companies with a stalled roadmap. Realigns engineering with strategy. Runs ninety-day cycles. Leaves when the trajectory is fixed.
For companies with a stalled roadmap and no clear owner of technical strategy.
C-Suite Alignment Sprint
Gets the CEO, CFO, and CTO into the same room and they leave with one defensible plan tied to P&L milestones.
For leadership teams that cannot reach consensus on where AI fits in the business.

Common questions.
Most engagements run between six and eighteen months. Scope and cadence are defined in the first two weeks.
Both. Board Advisory is ongoing with a defined monthly cadence. The C-Suite Alignment Sprint is a contained project. Interim CTPO engagements run until the trajectory is fixed, usually three to six months.
A consulting firm sends a team. Mahesh is the engagement. He has managed a billion-dollar revenue line and a six hundred million dollar P&L. He does not learn your business from a discovery deck. He has sat in the seat he is being asked to advise on.
Yes. Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA before any substantive conversation takes place.
Book a call.
Mahesh takes a limited number of advisory engagements each year. Fifteen minutes, video. He will tell you whether he can help, and if not, who can.
