The Whole Me
He lives in the New York City area with his wife. On weekends, you’ll find him on his bike, on the tennis court, on his skis, at the movies, or cheering for the Seattle Seahawks. His greatest joy is seeing leader’s thrive by having the impact on the lives of those they lead. Helping leaders find their voice, and use it to serve their organization’s greater good is what gets him up every morning. In his office, Ron has a collection of antique door knobs, door knockers and skeleton keys. Every day, they remind him that life is about finding and pursuing the open doors in front of you, and making sure those doors open for others. In the morning, one of his favorite routines is picking the coffee mug in the conference room from among his collection. Each mug hails from a difference experience and person in his life, and helps him begin his day remembering to be grateful for all those in his life who’ve been part of his story.

About Aran Khanna:
Aran Khanna believes code-makers can be world-changers, and he’s put that theory to the test more than once. From writing open-source code for the Apache MXNet project to exposing privacy concerns about Facebook’s Messenger app (and subsequently getting fired from his internship there), Aran has created technology that both innovates and questions the tools we use—and how we use them.
Aran likes to say he was born in the cloud: his birthplace is Seattle, he got his first job with Microsoft, and a startup he worked for subsequently, was bought out by Amazon Web Services. While working in the tech sphere, Aran saw firsthand the misalignment between what digital platforms offered for cloud service management and what customers actually needed. Engineers and finance teams wasted precious hours verifying and managing cloud services for their companies despite using third-party sites. With a vision for the application of machine learning to streamline cloud management practices, Aran saw an opportunity and decided to take it.
Teaming up with his brother Nikhil, Aran founded Archera, a company that uses machine learning to help organizations automate & de-risk their cloud strategies. With Archera, Aran hopes to put control back into the hands of developers and business leaders so they can use the resources they need when they need them, without hemorrhaging time and money.
