Soumitra Bhat 🔗
As a Strategic Innovation consultant, my background spans leadership roles at Salesforce, Microsoft, and in my own ventures, shaping growth across industries from finance to public sector, manufacturing to tech.
What sets me apart is my passion for strategic innovation. I excel at helping organisations sense and respond to change by translating insights into a compelling future vision with a practical roadmap. My experience in design-led innovation and change management means I can connect the dots between human needs and business value while leading diverse teams through the transformation process. I help organisations see around corners, rally their people, and move from today’s challenges to tomorrow’s opportunities.
My approach in action:
UserINNOV partnered with RNW Media and the Radio Nederland Training Center to deliver a revenue diversification strategy with user-centered innovation at the core, shifting from program-centricity to learner-centricity, reducing grant dependency by more than 50%, and sustaining and enhancing its impact on journalists and media makers worldwide.
In just 8-weeks, RNTC developed:
✅ Market-validated opportunities
✅ Learner-focused value propositions
✅ Sustainable, diversified revenue model
