Altimetrik Appoints Seasoned Growth Executive Gautam Samanta as CCO
Altimetrik, an AI-first data and
digital engineering company, has appointed Gautam Samanta as its Chief Commercial
Officer (CCO). A seasoned technology executive with more than three decades of
experience, Gautam joins Altimetrik to accelerate the company’s growth strategy
and reinforce its leadership as the AI-first orchestrator that enterprises need
to thrive in an evolving digital landscape. He will report directly to Raj
Sundaresan, Chief Executive Officer of Altimetrik.
This appointment comes at a
pivotal moment for Altimetrik. The company recently announced the signing of a
definitive agreement to acquire SLK Software, a global technology services firm
focused on AI, intelligent automation, and analytics solutions. Together, the
combined entity will create greater scale, expanded reach, and deeper
capabilities across industries as Altimetrik advances toward its goal of
reaching $1 billion in annual revenue.
In his new role, Gautam will
drive Altimetrik’s global commercial and go-to-market strategy, expanding
client and partner engagement, strengthening execution discipline, and
advancing the company’s growth initiatives across markets and industry
verticals. His focus will be on aligning commercial priorities with transformational
goals and enabling enterprises to realize measurable outcomes from AI adoption
at scale.
“Gautam’s appointment marks an
important milestone in Altimetrik’s growth journey,” said Raj Sundaresan, Chief
Executive Officer of Altimetrik. “This year, we launched our AI-First brand,
opened the ALTI AI Adoption Lab, and introduced DomainForge.ai to help clients
accelerate enterprise-grade AI deployment. Combined with our expanded ecosystem
partnerships with OpenAI, AWS, Salesforce, Azure, Snowflake, and Databricks,
and our definitive agreement to acquire SLK Software, we have built strong
momentum across every dimension of our business. Gautam’s global experience and
commercial discipline will help us channel that momentum into sharper
execution, deeper client value, and measurable impact across markets.”
Gautam has a proven track record
in scaling global technology businesses by harnessing emerging technologies and
deep domain expertise. Most recently, as President and Executive Director at
Coforge, he was instrumental in driving the company’s growth strategy,
transforming it into one of the fastest-growing technology services firms over
the past eight years. He built the Banking and Financial Services vertical into
a US$500 million business, the firm’s largest, and led several strategic
corporate initiatives. Prior to Coforge, Gautam held senior leadership roles at
Infosys and Capgemini, where he spearheaded account growth, vertical expansion,
and global scaling.
“Altimetrik’s AI-First vision strongly resonates with my
belief in the transformative potential of AI and data,” said Gautam Samanta.
“Its engineering-first culture, agility, and platform-led approach position it
as a true catalyst for enterprise growth. I am excited to help shape the
company’s next chapter-driving sharper execution, customer value, and growth at
scale.”
Gautam holds a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and an MBA from the Indian
Institute of Management, Calcutta.
