Kulpreet is an Operating Advisor at OpenOcean, having recently joined from UiPath. Kulpreet comes with ~30 years of corporate experience (or as he calls it, corporate carousel). He spent about 15 years with organisations like Sony, Panasonic, Gemini Consulting and Centrica. Having tired of trying to change big corporates, he changed tack and tried his hand at building and scaling up companies over the last 15 years with EXL, AbsolutData and for the last 4 years with UiPath. He now wants to use the next 15 years to support, coach, advise, guide and mentor high growing companies.
