On June 17, 2025, Aeries Technology Inc. announced the appointment of Elias (Eli) Mendoza as Chief Growth and Strategy Officer. Eli brings over two decades of institutional experience spanning private equity, M&A, corporate strategy, and post-transaction operational transformation. His appointment strengthens Aeries' leadership as it accelerates post-listing expansion and aligns with the Company's digital modernization mandate for enterprise clients.
Eli's private equity operating depth is rooted in his experience as former Partner and COO at Siris Capital, where he helped drive enterprise value creation across portfolio investments and served on multiple boards. His other prior roles include Vice President, Global Head of Corporate Development at IBM, where he led global M&A and investment efforts, and as an Executive Director and senior investment banker at Morgan Stanley in New York and Tokyo. This career path reflects his institutional capital experience and positions him well to lead Aeries' transformation mandate: driving global expansion, deepening strategic client partnerships, and advancing revenue optimization through scalable, AI-driven transformation.
Eli will report directly to CEO Ajay Khare and be based in New York. He will co-lead strategic initiatives with client-facing teams across Aeries' global operations in India, the U.S., and the Middle East.
