About Suhas Kelkar

Suhas Kelkar is Chief Technology Officer at SOVRA. Location: United States.

I'm a product and engineering executive passionate about using AI/ML to solve real-world problems at scale. With over two decades of experience across startups, VC/PE-backed ventures, and large enterprises, I’ve led transformations that marry deep technology with customer impact—especially in highly regulated sectors like healthcare and government. At OpenGov, I led the overhaul of a legacy asset management product into a modern, AI-powered SaaS platform, contributing to 46% YoY revenue growth and helping cities manage over 60 million public assets. At ClearDATA, I built a cloud-native CSPM platform for healthcare that embedded compliance and security at scale—leveraging ML for risk insights across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Experience building models using XGBoost and MLP for predictive maintenance, integrated tools like OpenAI and Claude to boost developer and PM productivity, and contributed to an AI Manifesto for responsible use of AI in government contexts. I bring the rare blend of hands-on technical depth (six USPTO patents, MS in Robotics), product strategy expertise, and global team leadership (teams of 150+, $55M+ P&L). I thrive at the intersection of data, design, and decision-making. Also: co-founder of a Gates Foundation-backed fintech social impact venture (Serv’d), former adjunct faculty at University of Washington, and frequent speaker on product leadership, innovation, and AI adoption. If you’re building something bold with AI—especially in SaaS, cloud, or regulated spaces—let’s connect.
