Rajan Seriampalayam is an executive coach and advisor to Director- and VP-level leaders in technology, drawing on roughly three decades of enterprise transformation and his own years in those seats. He works at the operating-model altitude where senior leaders actually get stuck: staying the decision bottleneck for their teams, leading through continuous reorgs, re-engaging top performers who've quietly checked out, and figuring out where AI fits in how a team works. His SHIFT Leadership Framework maps the five places that pressure shows up. He speaks plainly and will challenge the easy answer, which makes him useful for stories that need a senior, in-the-seat view rather than generic leadership advice.
