Alok C Dalal

About

Director | Strategic Delivery, Transformation & Advisory.

Background & focus

I am Alok C Dalal, an enterprise transformation executive with 22+ years of experience leading large-scale Cloud, Data, AI and technology transformation programs for global enterprises across the US, UK, Europe and APAC.

I lead cross-functional organizations, represent delivery in executive governance forums, and drive predictable outcomes from strategy and deal origination through delivery and stabilization — combining cloud strategy, data and analytics, AI/ML, technology advisory and consulting leadership with $25M+ portfolio accountability and financial governance.

As a trusted advisor to CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and business leaders, I translate business priorities into transformation roadmaps, governance models, investment decisions and measurable business outcomes — and build the Global Delivery Centers, practices and Centers of Excellence that sustain them.

Working principles

How I approach the work

Outcome-first thinking

Every program starts with the business outcome — value realisation, adoption and measurable impact, not just a successful technology implementation.

Clarity from complexity

Global, multi-vendor, regulated environments are complex by nature. I bring structure through governance, roadmaps and predictable delivery frameworks.

Partnership at the top

Transformation succeeds when CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and business leaders are aligned. I work as a trusted advisor inside executive governance forums.
