Bounteous, a global digital transformation consultancy, announced the appointment of Ketan Somani as President of Strategic Industries & Regional CEO, EMEA & APAC.
In this expanded role, Ketan will lead global strategy and growth across Financial Services, Media & Telecommunications, and Diversified industries, while continuing to scale the company’s business in the EMEA and APAC regions.

Prior to Bounteous, Ketan spent over a decade building the European media and telecommunications business for a global digital consultancy. With deep expertise in sales, P&L management, client growth, and global delivery, Ketan brings a collaborative approach to leadership, working closely with teams, partners, and clients to drive lasting outcomes.
