# Ravi Shah > AI Infrastructure, Cloud & Semiconductor Strategy | Driving Multibillion-Dollar Growth through Product, GTM & Ecosystem Leadership | Cisco | Wharton MBA Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ravishah I build and scale AI infrastructure and semiconductor-driven platforms that power cloud, compute, and intelligent edge ecosystems. With 17+ years of leadership experience driving success in Strategy, GTM, Product management, and Business Development, I bridge deep technical understanding with strategic and business acumen to drive innovation, market expansion, and measurable growth. Currently, I lead strategy for complex, high growth technology vectors and markets like Silicon, AI accelerators, Optics, Storage, AI Networking and 5G through cross-functional leadership while building thought-leadership on emerging areas like Quantum and Agentic AI. My work is instrumental in guiding C-level investments, product and GTM decisions across multiple businesses. In the past, I scaled a $500M+ global analog and power business, delivering 15% annual growth and 20%+ design-win acceleration. I built and led regional GTM and product teams, strengthened partnerships with top OEMs across Computing, Automotive, IoT and Industrial and expanded global distribution channel programs to achieve mass-market growth with margin improvements. Leadership focus — Product, People, and P&L: • Product & Market Strategy: Translating emerging technologies (AI, IoT, networking, semiconductors) into competitive roadmaps and multi-year growth plans. • People Leadership: Leading and mentoring diverse, high-impact global teams across GTM, strategy, and customer success. • P&L Ownership: Driving profitable growth across portfolios ranging from $500M to $5B+ through product strategy, GTM transformation and ecosystem development. Recognized as a startup advisor and industry speaker (CES, IDF, Embedded World), I am passionate about shaping the future of AI infrastructure — where silicon innovation, Optics, Cloud platforms, orchestration converge to deliver new enterprise and user value at scale. ## Work Experience ### Corporate Strategy @ Cisco Jan 2021 – Present The corporate strategy team is instrumental in crafting Cisco's overall strategy and vision.
