Sankar Mangapuram
CEO
Leading an information technology consulting firm in Dublin, Ohio, Sankar Mangapuram works with organizations across industries on AI and advanced analytics, infrastructure, and the people side of technology change. As CEO of Strategic Systems, Inc., he shapes how companies plan and carry out their technology strategy.
How He Got Here
Sankar Mangapuram runs Strategic Systems, Inc., where he advises organizations on information technology strategy, from AI and advanced analytics to the infrastructure and people needed to support it. The work spans industries rather than a single sector, reflecting an approach built on breadth rather than specialization in one field.
That approach was shaped well before the CEO title. Mangapuram studied at Acharya Nagarjuna University before going on to Harvard Business School, a combination that grounded him in both technical fundamentals and the strategic thinking consulting demands. The two schools mark distinct phases of his education, and both continue to inform how he advises clients today.
He maintains active ties to both worlds. As a member of Harvard Alumni, he stays connected to the business school network that shaped his later career. Locally, he is part of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, keeping him engaged with the Ohio business community where Strategic Systems, Inc. is based.
Family shaped his early outlook. Raised among educators who valued hard work and family unity, he grew up with an understanding that progress sometimes requires risk, taken not just for oneself but for those who come after.
