Priya Ramanathan
Chief Operating Officer
Biography
Priya opened the Singapore office in 2017 and was appointed COO in 2021. She owns the operating cadence of the company: the quarterly business review, the delivery organisation, facilities, procurement, and the regional field offices.
She led the operational integration of Cardinal Grid, which she describes as the hardest twelve months of her career and the reason Terravek now has a written integration playbook. She also sponsors the follow-the-sun support model that lets Singapore, Delft and Denver hand over an incident three times a day without losing context.
Priya is Terravek's most senior APAC leader and sits on the Rijnmond–Jurong port data working group.
