About Rajesh
Rajesh leads digital transformations for large enterprises and small- and medium-sized businesses in regulated industries such as healthcare, banking, financial services, and insurance. He has built CRM products and currently delivers global implementations for clients in North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, managing geographically distributed, cross-functional service delivery and product teams.
Rajesh provides architect leadership, preparing reference architectures and guiding domain owners across different healthcare and life sciences functional, technical, and integration architecture domains.

He also leads integrations with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Health Level Seven (HL7), health information exchange (HIE) systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and payment gateway and credit report services.
Rajesh’s signature engagements include:
- Acting as a technology strategy adviser for a large health insurance payer— presenting a road map and overseeing one of Salesforce's first implementations of Health Cloud for payers; transforming the client's service, sales, and marketing functions; and serving half a million active members across Medicaid, Medicare, administrative services only (ASO), and commercial plans.
- Leading the transformation of the customer service operation at a large U.S. satellite TV provider, with 20,000 agents responsible for selling bundles and packages to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) customers, resulting in a reduction in the average call handle time from 12 minutes to under five minutes.
- Leading an implementation team at a global medical device manufacturer that built pricing rules in Salesforce to support payers (e.g., commercial plans, Medicare in the U.S., single-payer systems in Europe and Australia) and different purchasing entities, such as group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and integrated delivery networks (IDNs). He oversaw the rollout of a chatbot for troubleshooting issues with a spinal cord stimulation device and the transformation of patient relationship management processes, using Health Cloud for therapy support, prior authorization, therapy optimization services, sales, marketing, and provider service functions.
- Serving as an advisory architect to the chief information officer (CIO) and head of sales operations at a top three data storage company, providing guidance on optimizations to Salesforce.org, with 5,000 users spanning partner relationship management, territory management, mobile strategy, and release management. This engagement resulted in harmonized sales processes across partner-led and direct sales channels in multiple geographies, providing better pipeline forecasting.
