By: WE Staff | Thursday, 7 May 2026

DecisionX, a Decision AI company building decision infrastructure for strategy, analytics, and operations leaders, today announced the appointment of Shantha Maheswari Sekhar as Strategic Advisor, GTM and Industry Relations.

In this role, Shantha will work with the DecisionX’s leadership team to scale the platform across enterprise verticals, deepen industry relationships, and bring board- level perspective to the company’s growth strategy.

The appointment comes at a pivotal moment for DecisionX, as the company scales its early enterprise engagements into a broader vertical playbook for analytics and strategy teams, and expands its leadership and advisory bench ahead of its next phase of growth.

A former Managing Director at Accenture and senior leader at EY, Shantha brings more than three decades of experience leading complex business and technology transformations across consulting, technology, and industry verticals. She has led consulting practices, built Centers of Excellence, expanded into new geographies, and shaped go-to market strategy across consumer, healthcare, life sciences, financial services, and industrial sectors.

Shantha serves on multiple boards as an independent director and advisor, and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration in AI and Machine Learning at the University of Texas at Austin and Walsh University.

“Shantha brings exactly the kind of perspective an enterprise AI company needs at this stage. She has spent three decades inside the rooms where strategy, technology, and governance decisions are actually made. Her experience scaling complex business and technology transformations, her network across industry leaders, and her depth in board stewardship will directly shape how we approach enterprise GTM and industry partnerships in 2026 and beyond”, said Ranjan Kumar, Founder and CEO, DecisionX

In her advisor role, Shantha will be helping DecisionX on two key priorities. First, shaping DecisionX’s enterprise go-to market strategy across vertical industries, with an emphasis on outcome-led positioning. Second, building relationships with global capability centres, system integrators, and analyst houses where the platform can scale through partnerships.

“Some of the most consequential AI work in the enterprise today is happening in the context layer, where an AI system actually understands what the data means, why it moves, and what decision it should drive. The team at DecisionX has approached this with rare technical depth and clarity of purpose. I am delighted to partner with Ranjan and the founding team to bring this work to more enterprises, and to ensure the value reaches the strategy and analytics leaders who need it most”, said Shantha Maheswari Sekhar, Strategic Advisor, GTM and Industry Relations, DecisionX

Shantha is the first of several senior advisors DecisionX plans to announce in the coming weeks, as the company formalises its leadership and advisory structure ahead of broader market visibility.
