Yashodhan Kothari

I’m a customer-focused Product Owner and Digital Transformation leader with 20+ years of experience translating business strategy into high-value product backlogs and roadmaps. I bridge the gap between business stakeholders and engineering teams using SAFe Agile frameworks, defining and prioritising features to drive measurable outcomes. I’ve delivered €3M+ revenue-generating platforms, reduced operational costs by 40%, and maintained 99.99% uptime for mission-critical systems.

At rSTAR Technologies, I lead structured discovery workshops to define KPIs, business rules, workflows, edge cases, and data dependencies across enterprise transformation programs. I translate stakeholder inputs into clear PRDs, BRDs/FRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and decision logs—supporting backlog refinement, sprint planning, and release readiness. I also designed AI-enabled process analysis solutions, improving business analysis productivity by 30%+.

Previously at Bureau Veritas CPS, I owned product vision and roadmap for a global digital transformation program, delivering a B2B/B2C e-commerce platform with €3M+ annual revenue and enabling expansion into new markets. I led a KPI-driven inspection optimisation platform using ML to reduce operational costs by ~40%, while improving product quality by reducing defects by 20% and maintaining 99.99% uptime. I’m a Certified SAFe 6 Practice Consultant (SPC) with deep expertise in value stream mapping and OKR/KPI governance, and I mentor product leaders to strengthen execution discipline.
