Shankar Arumugavelu’s Post

On my first official day in my new role, I want to take a moment to reflect on the last few weeks. I’ve been absolutely energized by my time spent with the VGS V Team – during leadership meetings, our first All Hands webcast, town halls in Limerick and Dublin, immersion sessions with the different groups that make up this tremendous organization, just to name a few. I’ve been listening and learning from the best in the business. The more I learn, the more excited I am about how this team is uniquely positioned to help shape the future of Verizon. Our end-to-end view of how the business operates empowers us to uncover opportunities to simplify, standardize and eliminate waste so that we can invest in transforming the ways we do business using technology, data and AI. This will help us deliver more value for our stakeholders and fuel our future. I am thrilled to lead the VGS team, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together as we write our next chapter. #VTeam #Culture #Technology #Transformation

I am very much looking forward to heading to Copenhagen soon to speak at TM Forum's #DTW23 - Ignite! Join me and the Verizon team together with 3500+ attendees as we explore AI at Scale, Cloud-Native Software, Future Networks, Platforms and partnerships with a collective ambition of leading the communications industry to growth. It's shaping up to be the largest ever TM Forum in-person event. Don't miss it and hope to see you all there. 19 - 21 September https://lnkd.in/eDS-8EiV #DTW23 #Ignite #VerizonGTS

I enjoyed the discussion with Pari Natarajan, CEO, Zinnov, about the technology trends enabling a differentiated customer experience, with a focus on Gen Z customers. #VerizonGTS

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with Chet Kapoor covering a wide range of topics. https://lnkd.in/gHfkQGnG #verizongts

I'd like to extend my congratulations to our Verizon VBG team, particularly the TechSecOps team, for their work on using gamification to prioritize and accelerate cyber security in their organization, as recognized by the CSO50 award. Congrats, team! #VerizonGTS #CSO50 #ForwardTogether

I’d like to extend a warm congratulations to the Verizon GTS Next Horizon Award winners: Ashish Gupta, Anupama Ramanujan, Vamshi Mohan DR, Vishwas Parameshwarappa, Freddy Rodriguez, and Bharti Patel. Your commitment to meeting the unarticulated needs of the business and leading with integrity has demonstrated what inspiring leadership looks like. Thank you to each of you for the valuable role you play in our company’s success. #VerizonGTS #ForwardTogether

Thank you to #VerizonGTS Engineers - and our V Teamers who embody the engineering mindset. Because of your curiosity, passion, and dedication to problem-solving, we are delivering best-in-class experiences for Verizon employees and customers alike. 

I was super excited to visit our Verizon India team in Chennai and Hyderabad earlier this month - my first visit there in more than two and a half years since we went into lockdown. It was fantastic to meet with our teammates in person, learn about the projects they are working on, see the demos, have the town hall meetings and recognize the team for the great work they're doing. The energy level and the passion for the business the team demonstrated was unprecedented. Our #VZIndia team continues to be a strategic asset for us. Thank you to all those who came to the office, or joined us virtually. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. #ForwardTogether #VerizonGTS #VerizonIndia
