Speaking about Jeff's addition to the team, Praveen Bhadada, Managing Partner, Zinnov, said, "We estimate the total enterprise spend on Hyper Intelligent Automation (HIA) is USD10 Bn+ today, and will increase at a 60% CAGR over the next 5 years, to reach over USD90 Bn. This traction has been further catalyzed with COVID pushing automation to become the #1 priority for CIOs. I am extremely excited to have Jeff join the automation practice at Zinnov as his deep domain expertise within the BFSI industry, hands-on experience in solving scale challenges, coupled with Zinnov's strategy expertise, puts us in a strong position to maximize value for our enterprise customers in their automation journeys."
