Krishna Mulbagal
Somashekar

"I hired Krishna more than 12 years ago, when I was responsible for IT at Toradex. I was able to hand him full ownership quickly, which took a large operational load off me. As my role at the company progressed, IT moved under another department lead, but I stayed close to the work until he left. Krishna owned IT infrastructure and operations, with a focus on cybersecurity, through a period of significant growth at the company. The environment moved from on-premises to hosted and then to a cloud-native mix of AWS and Microsoft Cloud, including business-critical customer-facing systems such as the website, e-commerce, and ERP. What mattered commercially is that the platform was built for reliability: it supported the company’s 24/7 operations with little downtime, and I do not recall a significant cybersecurity incident under his watch. He led a team of network engineers and IT support staff. He relied on that team for infrastructure execution and spent his own time managing, aligning, and communicating internally and externally. He travelled when a project required it and made himself available after hours and on weekends so maintenance did not interrupt the business. His last major project was the ISO/IEC 27001 certification which was a concrete step-up in how the company could demonstrate security and operational discipline to customers and partners. The outcome I cared about was I could trust him with the function. He took IT off my plate, scaled it with the company, and kept the business running. Any organization looking for an IT and cybersecurity leader who delivers stable operations and stays aligned with the business should talk to him."
