I am Shankar Viswanathan, presently Heading the Cloud Infrastructure Security Team at Credit Karma. I helped judge Globee Awards in the Business and Information technology Categories. This year we received an unprecedented amount of highly qualified applicants from all over the world from Australia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Iran to Nigeria. It is refreshing to see businesses adopting a technology first approach across the world leading to a complete digital transformation.
