Hani Batla

CIO/CTO Adorama

I am an innovative, technical product leader, design focused, data-driven, champion of end-users and creator of new technologies. I believe in building beautiful, meaningful products by employing data, good design and learnings gained by being the ultimate end-user of the world around us all. The primary driver for me, both professionally and personally, is a desire to be an agent for positive change, no matter how small, as long as it is meaningful. To be succinct, I care about the big picture AND the small details and I work hard to realize my visions and goals. Over the years I have worn many hats in my career – writer, producer, marketer, salesperson, manager and strategist. I bring the skills and lessons I have learned along the way to every challenge I take on. My professional experiences have taught me the following inalienable truths about myself: - I speak tech and exec. - I always stay calm when faced with extreme adversity - I tell great stories and whiteboards (occasionally PowerPoint) serve as my canvas - Execution of Big ideas with resource and time constraints are my specialty - I love to win… but helping others win gives me even greater joy - I am extremely curious and always strive to learn and find answers - The buck stops with me
