Unni N.

Data & Analytics Leader, ex-Management Consultant

Unni Nambudripad is a senior Data & Analytics leader with over 25 years of experience spanning technology, management consulting, and data leadership. He has built analytics capabilities from the ground up as the first hire and scaled mature data organizations - across healthcare, financial services, B2B SaaS, CPG, retail, and manufacturing.

Unni brings a rare combination: the strategic perspective to align data initiatives with business outcomes and the hands-on expertise to architect and deliver them. Having operated on both sides of enterprise data initiatives - as a leader building internal capabilities and as the external advisor helping clients do the same - he understands the organizational, technical, and political realities that determine whether data investments create value or stall.

His work focuses on helping businesses establish strong data foundations, build analytics capabilities on top of them, and to work with leadership to activate decision-making at scale.
