Sanjeev joins the team with over 30 years’ experience across the digital infrastructure space having served as Vice President of EMEA Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Strategy & Sales, where he led investment strategies and played a key role in the launch of Oracle's Dedicated Region and Oracle Alloy.

Prior to Oracle, Sanjeev held leadership positions at Microsoft, where he focused on Strategic Sourcing and Supply Management for Microsoft Cloud, and at Intel, where his work centred on sales, marketing, and business development for Intel’s cloud and enterprise segment.

As Portman’s new Strategic Advisor, Sanjeev will assist in accelerating Portman’s growth across the US, alongside other key geographies around the world. With his background in Global Sales, Strategy and Operations, Sanjeev’s knowledge and insight will help support Portman’s mission by attracting new senior level appointments and future leaders of the digital infrastructure sector.

“I am thrilled to join Portman Partners as a Strategic Advisor at this pivotal time in the digital infrastructure industry,” says Sanjeev. “With the rapid growth and evolution of data centers and cloud technologies, there's an increasing need for exceptional leadership talent to drive innovation and expansion.

“My experience in scaling cloud operations, data center strategy, and global sales will complement Portman's expertise in executive search. I look forward to leveraging my network and insights to help connect visionary leaders with opportunities that will shape the future of digital infrastructure.”

Mike Meyer, Managing Director of Portman Partners, says Sanjeev will play a key role in strengthening the firm’s global presence: “Investing in our team is key to supporting our clients. Sanjeev’s expertise and experience across the digital infrastructure sector will be invaluable to Portman, and play a key, strategic role as we look to expand our global network and launch new services in the future.”
