Hekuran Olluri

Senior IT Leader driving global strategies, cybersecurity, and digital transformation across international organisations. Self-taught. Hands-on. Results-driven.

A Self-Taught IT Leader
with Global Reach
Building and leading technology organisations that bridge business strategy with hands-on execution.

I am a self-taught IT professional who has built a career through curiosity, determination, and a relentless drive to learn. From system administrator to Head of IT at a multinational energy company, my journey reflects a commitment to continuous growth and practical excellence.

Currently leading IT at Forza Petroleum Services in Geneva, I define and execute global IT strategy, oversee cybersecurity, and manage enterprise systems across headquarters and international subsidiaries. My approach combines strategic vision with operational proximity — I stay close to systems, teams, and delivery.

I thrive in complex, international environments where technology must align tightly with business objectives. Whether it's implementing ISO 27001 frameworks, optimising IT budgets, or driving digital transformation, I bring pragmatism, creativity, and strong leadership to every challenge.
