Data Driven Organizations have 7x faster growth than the global GDP but 67% of leaders say they are not comfortable accessing or using data.

Vik Ekambaram has joined force Moonpreneur to open new horizons for expansion and lead the organisation through the 4th Industrial revolution (IR 4.0).

Vik Ekambaram is the Sr. Director of Innovation Consulting at Tableau (a Salesforce company). He works at the intersection of data, technology & transformation while advising customers on the strategy, operating model & capabilities they need to build a data culture. Prior to Tableau, Vik spent most of his career at Microsoft and Oracle in sales and technical leadership roles.

“Companies went into 2020 with a plan. As Covid-19 spread and disrupted all aspects of life, companies had to create new plans. We followed 20th-century processes for decision making, and that won’t cut it in the 21st-century, ever-changing landscape”

– Vik Ekambaram

In his 8 years at Tableau, he has served at 7 different roles (across Sales, Partners, Customer Success, and Innovation) and 5 of these roles did not exist before the year he joined. He understands how the industry is changing and the revolution IR 4.0 is round the corner. Moonshot’s mission to Transform Curious Minds ties in directly to Vik’s core beliefs and experience. According to Vik, “The jobs our kids will be doing do not exist today and teaching kids entrepreneurial skills is essential for them to thrive in the world of tomorrow.”

“All Nobel laureates in the sciences practice some form of art as adults.”

Art is vital to developing problem-solving skills and now is the right time to inculcate the same for future entrepreneurs and the workforce.

Vik is also on the Advisory Board of Pace University’s Disruptive Leadership Program.
