Ram Devagiri

Executive Director| Sydney| Email

Ram is an accomplished executive who has dedicated his career to transforming businesses across multiple industries and geographic regions. Throughout his professional journey, Ram has observed a common issue: the growing divide between the execution of strategies and the bureaucratic structures that focus on policies, procedures, and rules. Whether the challenges revolved around revenue growth, margin improvement, talent management, customer satisfaction, or operational excellence, Ram consistently noticed a tendency for managers to prioritise managing processes over mobilising innovative solutions.

Recognizing the need for change, Ram has been deeply committed to simplifying complex problems, empowering teams to discover their own solutions within existing frameworks, and providing necessary resources, guidance, and disruptive thinking when required. This path of learning and development has been immensely gratifying for him.

With a wealth of experience in prominent organisations such as Oberoi Hotels, Compass Group Plc, Sodexo, Knight Frank, and JLL, Ram possesses a profound understanding of organisational dynamics, people, and culture. He brings a strategic vision to seize the potential opportunities that arise from change, fostering the creation of winning teams, nurturing a customer-centric internal culture, and ensuring sustained profitability.
