Mehul Gandhi
Chief Technology Officer
Technology and product leader with 20+ years turning complex AI and technical capability into the handful of bets actually worth making — across consumer electronics, fintech, healthcare, and defense. As founder and CEO of CleverMove.ai, he made those calls himself: what to fund, what to cut, and in what order, building CleverMove 360™, an AI-enabled hands-free video device, under real startup constraints. It's the same judgment he brings to OPERAScale clients: deciding which AI investments will actually pay off.
Key Projects
NASA computing acquisition — ranking the alternatives
For the CIO of a 3,000-person NASA facility, built the decision criteria and interviewed key stakeholders to rank three competing computing-acquisition options — turning a high-stakes technology bet into a defensible, stakeholder-backed decision.
Smart Cities — cloud bets prioritized with OPERA
As EVP of a European IoT and AI-enabled traffic-management venture, used the OPERAScale™ decision framework to prioritize cloud-product selection — and built the go-to-market and pricing model that secured VC funding to enter the U.S. Smart Cities market.
200+ person data org — outcomes alignment
For a multi-million-dollar, 200+ person financial-services data organization, redefined the outcomes that mattered and aligned them to the organization's core functions — shortening the quarterly decision cycle and getting the whole group behind the same priorities.
Defense comms — five-year roadmap alignment
For a government wireless-communications program, drove the portfolio decisions behind a next-generation military radio network — sequencing a five-year roadmap and aligning it with executive leadership.
Naval base merger — the business case
Built the business case for a Navy Captain's merger and realignment of personnel and equipment across U.S. bases in Japan — modeling labor-availability scenarios by cost to guide where to consolidate and where to augment staff.
Fortune 500 fintech — funding the platform roadmap
As Senior Product Manager at a Fortune 500 financial-services company, built the case and secured executive-leadership alignment to fund the platform priorities — scaling it from startup mode to high-volume, low-latency API infrastructure.
Fortune 100 legal platform — driving adoption
For a Fortune 100 client, designed the process and messaging to drive adoption of a flagship internal legal platform — getting lawyers to embrace a new AWS-based system by making its value concrete.
