Ankit Lodha
Head of IT & Digital Transformation @XDigital
Verified
I am a 'Finance-Tech Hybrid' with 15+ years of experience in the UAE, bridging the gap between the bottom line (ACCA) and bleeding-edge digital execution. Throughout my career, I’ve found that the biggest friction in digital transformation isn't the code; it's the cost and the culture. By applying financial rigor to IT operations, I help organizations run leaner, faster, and more securely. Recent Impact Highlights: Efficiency: Recovered 5 weeks of monthly labor for C-Suite stakeholders at Xische by building custom HRMS/Finance automation. Cost: Reduced annual digital tool overhead by 40%. Scale: Spearheaded digital transformation projects for NEOM, TAMM, Dubai Municipality, and Dubai Police. Security: Reduced device onboarding time by 90% while meeting strict UAE government security protocols. I don't just manage IT; I architect systems that reclaim time for leadership. Whether it is leading large-scale digital transformation for ADIO or architecting business-enabling technical ecosystems for the Abu Dhabi Chamber, I focus on ROI-driven technology. Specialties: IT OpEx/CapEx, Government Digital Services, AI Orchestration, and Global Brand Strategy.More...
