Rahul Saxena

Rahul is the CEO of CoBot Systems. He has been focused on operations & analytics since 2004: first in a startup, Epiance, and then for McAfee and Cisco from 2006 to 2013. During this time, he has developed Analytics Centers of Excellence, filed for a patent, presented at a key international conference on analytics, assisted with the creation of a professional body and certification for analytics, and written a book on analytics.

In 1996 he joined IBM as a management consultant, where he worked on ERP, CRM, e-business, and other key innovation areas.

His undergraduate education in operations research and engineering was put to use in his job at the Indian Railways from 1987 to 1992, where he also developed and practiced the range of skills required to lead large organizations. An MBA from Tulane University with an International Fellowship in Operations Research helped him develop an international perspective, hone his quantitative skills, and build a solid foundation for systems thinking.

This book provides a guide to businesses on how to use analytics, Operations Research & Management Science to improve decision effectiveness. You can buy this book from AMAZON or SPRINGER.
