Dharana Awasthi, AI Platform Product Manager

AI Platform Product Manager · Madrid

Hi, I'm Dharana.

I'm a product manager for AI and data platforms, with 9+ years at IBM, Infosys and Genpact building enterprise data and cloud platforms for large US companies in telecom and insurance. I moved from engineering into product ownership, so I understand the systems I manage.

Most recently I owned 70+ data and AI initiatives across 10 teams and led a GenAI product on Amazon Bedrock from requirements to production. I'm finishing my MBA at IE Business School and looking for AI or data platform PM roles.

What I bring

Technical depth

I've built the data platforms I now manage, so I can talk architecture with engineers and trade-offs with executives.

Shipping AI to production

I take GenAI from idea to adoption: requirements, metrics, validation and rollout.

Business ownership

Budgets, revenue and a P&L of my own as a founder, sharpened by an MBA.
