Harsha Kalkur
@harshakalkur
I lead global IT asset and software licensing programs that reduce cost and strengthen compliance.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
At LEONI Bordnetz Systeme, I lead global software asset management initiatives spanning license governance, tool integration, software approvals, and financial transparency.
I use Flexera, Snow License Manager, ServiceNow, LeanIX, and OpenLM to optimise software spend, automate workflows, manage application and vendor landscapes, and support AI governance.
Previously at Credit Suisse, I governed end-to-end IT asset lifecycles, maintained approximately 98% data accuracy across CMDB and ITAM repositories, and improved inventory coverage across cloud, containers, hardware, and software.
Across Philips Healthcare, Ericsson, HSBC, Capgemini, iGATE, and Huawei, I've built experience in software asset management, licensing, procurement, audit readiness, vendor management, and cross-functional governance.
