OP Welcomes Vijay Chemuturi as Chief Technology Officer

OP, a prominent technology consulting firm previously recognized as OrangePeople, recently announced the significant appointment of Vijay Chemuturi as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO). With over 30 years of unparalleled experience in technology and innovation, Chemuturi is expected to steer OP’s initiatives towards AI-led transformation and groundbreaking solutions for clients.

Having previously served as Executive Director and Chief Technology Strategist at Toyota, Chemuturi was instrumental in implementing AI technologies that significantly enhanced various functions, including manufacturing, research and development, supply chain management, customer interaction, and product quality. His notable achievements at Toyota include the launch of the company’s first connected platform, now known as Toyota Connected, and establishing the first data science practices as well as big data platforms within the organization.

Under Chemuturi’s guidance, Toyota saw the inception of several applications such as Customer360, Quality360, and Loyalty Engagement Opportunity, which not only delivered insights but also propelled operational excellence across the company. Furthermore, he led the modernization efforts of Toyota's 45-year-old mainframe infrastructure in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), reimagining legacy processes through modern multicloud architecture.

As the mastermind behind Toyota’s comprehensive technology strategy, he played a pivotal role in directing the company’s approach towards data utilization, cloud deployment, generative AI, and enterprise modernization. His talent and innovative thinking have been recognized through three first-place awards at Toyota’s Global Hackathon and Innovation Fair competitions.

At OP, Chemuturi's leadership is expected to be crucial in shaping the company's growth trajectory, particularly in the realm of AI-driven service models. His profound vision and practical expertise will be instrumental in evolving OP’s proprietary AI products, such as OranGPT—a state-of-the-art enterprise architecture platform—and TruthIn.ai, which aims to enhance consumer transparency through AI. Chemuturi stated, “AI isn't just a helpful tool; it's a true catalyst for transformation. OP is uniquely positioned to harness it in ways that redefine enterprise efficiency, agility, and value creation. I’m excited to help shape and scale OP’s human-led, AI-driven strategies that continue delivering breakthrough results for our clients.”

The appointment of Chemuturi is part of a larger strategic initiative, with OP reinforcing its leadership team through recent additions, including Tom Campisi as VP of Client Success and Svetlana Patrusheva as VP of Finance. Collectively, these individuals bring over 45 years of combined expertise that will enhance OP's capabilities and ensure sustained growth in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.

These strategic leadership changes coincide with OP’s recent rebranding efforts, which have introduced a new name, visual identity, and website. Along with these external updates, significant investments are being made in internal infrastructure and talent, reflecting OP's robust commitment to scaling its impact through innovative execution.

“Welcoming Vijay Chemuturi as OP’s Chief Technology Officer is an immense privilege,” said Raghav Putrevu, OP’s Founder and CEO. “His unparalleled expertise in AI-driven transformation and enterprise innovation will undoubtedly accelerate our capability to deliver exceptional value and results. Together with our other key leadership additions, Vijay's appointment represents a pivotal moment as we elevate our AI, cloud, and digital transformation proficiencies.”
