CALDWELL ENHANCES TECHNOLOGY LEADER RECRUITING CAPABILITIES WITH THE ADDITION OF RAJIV LULLA

The Caldwell Partners International Inc. has made a major enhancement to its technology leader recruiting capabilities with the addition of Rajiv Lulla as a partner in the firm's data, digital and technology leaders practice.

"We are delighted to welcome Rajiv to our global technology team," said Jim Bethmann, managing partner of Caldwell's technology practice. "His impressive and distinguished career -- as an executive in the digital media industry, as a consultant overseeing digital transformation, big-data analytics and cognitive computing, and finally recruiting transformational executives into private equity and venture-backed agile tech organizations -- will be an invaluable addition to our practice."

Mr. Lulla joins Caldwell from Egon Zehnder, where he led their global systems and engineering practices. In his prior role, Mr. Lulla was lead account partner at IBM's global business services, where he oversaw digital transformation, big data analytics and cognitive computing. Previously, he founded and led Sanskrt Ventures; was chief executive officer of NDTV, India's leading cable-news network; and was a senior vice-president at the Nexstar Media Group. Mr. Lulla began his career in digital media at ViacomCBS (now Paramount).

Mr. Lulla holds an MS from Stanford University, an MBA from Columbia Business School, and completed post-MBA studies at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He also has an MTech degree from the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi.

"The escalating importance of technology and transformation leaders is undeniable," said Chris Beck, president of Caldwell. "Rajiv's background expands our functional expertise for technology leaders, our industry expertise in the semiconductor systems and medical device markets, and our network of private equity and venture capital contacts. He is a fantastic addition to our organization, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the team."
