I’m Arpit Patel, a Global Executive MBA student at Fuqua and a lifelong enthusiast of AI and analytics. My career has been driven by a passion for building smarter, more efficient enterprises through the modernization of cloud-based analytics platforms. Currently, I lead enterprise AI analytics initiatives at Oracle, where I help organizations unlock the full potential of their data to make better, faster decisions.

Before joining Oracle, I held leadership roles at Deloitte and Syneos Health, guiding teams through large-scale transformations using technologies like Oracle Analytics Cloud, OpenAI, and Microsoft Azure. One of the highlights of my career was receiving the Oracle Open World Award for implementing the first successful deployment of Oracle Analytics Cloud in North America — a recognition that reinforced my belief in the power of innovation and collaboration.

Whether working with ERP, HR, supply chain, or marketing data, my approach always combines strategic thinking with hands-on problem-solving. I’m excited to bring that mindset into the Fuqua community, learning alongside peers who are equally driven to create impact through technology and leadership.
