Sanjay Brahmawar

Sanjay Brahmawar is Chief Executive Officer of QAD|Redzone and one of the leading voices shaping how artificial intelligence will transform the world's factories.

Since joining QAD|Redzone in 2025, Sanjay has led one of the manufacturing industry's most ambitious transformations, pioneering a new category of software that combines enterprise applications, connected workforces, and Champion AI to help manufacturers move from Systems of Record to AI-native Systems of Action. His vision is simple but profound: embed intelligence directly into the workflows that drive production, supply chains, and business performance.

For Sanjay, AI is not another technology cycle—it is the biggest shift manufacturing has seen in decades. His focus is on turning artificial intelligence into measurable outcomes: unlocking capacity, improving margins, strengthening resilience, and enabling manufacturers to adapt faster in an increasingly complex world.

He brings more than three decades of global leadership experience spanning software, technology, and industry. Prior to QAD|Redzone, Sanjay served as Chief Executive Officer of Software AG, where he led the company's transformation into a modern, subscription-led SaaS business. Earlier, he held senior leadership positions at IBM, spearheading global initiatives in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, and built deep operational expertise through leadership roles at PwC, FedEx, DSM, and Honda.

Having spent years alongside manufacturers—from factory floors and production lines to executive boardrooms—Sanjay believes that the next industrial revolution will not be defined by AI alone, but by organizations that successfully combine human ingenuity with machine intelligence. His perspective is grounded in a simple conviction: manufacturers do not lack ambition; they lack systems capable of keeping pace with the speed and complexity of modern industry.

A frequent speaker on the future of manufacturing and artificial intelligence, Sanjay advocates for an approach that prioritizes outcomes over hype. He believes that competitive advantage will increasingly belong to companies that can shorten the distance between signal and action.
