Hi and thank you for visiting my site!
I love to help leaders and companies solve problems using technology. Having worked for 20 years in various technology firms such as Google, Microsoft, Samsung and Gelato, I have closely seen the impact technology, a passionate team and a well-defined strategy can have on people and businesses.
I founded my own startup in the area of Health and InsureTech. While the startup didn’t lead to the success I had anticipated, it helped me understand how leaders have to juggle multiple priorities. So I am passionate about helping leaders simplify things and focus on the most important parts.
I have directly invested or co-invested in 15 startups in consumer internet, energy, health tech and AI, and continue to engage and advise the Founders teams as an advisor or on the Board of Directors. And an LP in three other early-stage funds since their inception.
A frequent speaker on Innovation, AI, Digital Disruption and Business Strategy, I have spoken at or moderated over 50 events along with CEOs and eminent leaders. E.g. my talk/presentation at the Chief Strategy and Innovation Officers Asia Summit was rated as the best at the summit (link) "One of the most groundbreaking and innovative presentations came from Hemant Aneja". You can read more on the Webpage: Speaking.
In addition, I enjoy cycling (London-Paris in 24h), running (a few marathons), cross-country skiing (Holmenkollenmarsjen Norway), photography (an exhibition in the good old days), and travelling (50+ countries and counting.)
If you are looking for a passionate board member or advisor and mentor to you/your leadership team, please message me.
