Priya Mohan Joins JoulesToWatts as Chief Operating Officer

Priya Mohan is now the Chief Operating Officer at JoulesToWatts (J2W). According to J2W, her role will encompass the entire lifecycle of AI implementation, spanning from initial diagnostics and strategic design to execution, change management, and overall outcome delivery.

The company is dedicated to developing AI-enabled hubs for Fortune 500 clients, boasting over 3,000 employees and operations in both India and the US.
