Sashikanth and Bardin were colleagues at Google and will continue to work closely together at Celonis to advance product and engineering goals. The two executives will be responsible for building out engineering and product teams, melding consumer-grade experiences with enterprise software and democratizing the use of Celonis.
Specifically, Sashikanth will be responsible for driving Celonis’ innovation and technology leadership and building a world-class team of engineering experts in process and business execution. Bardin leads product strategy and development for all Celonis Execution Management System (EMS) offerings.
The duo already brings an interesting mix of experiences to Celonis. Before coming to Google’s YouTube, Sashikanth was an Oracle executive via the acquisition of Hyperion. The mashup of consumer user experiences, enterprise software and digital and process transformation is worth watching.
I caught up with Sashikanth and Bardin to talk developers, teams and user experiences.
