CEO's Message
Marlabs Leadership
Global Presence

Siby Vadakekkara
CEO

The latest wave of digital disruption is transforming industries. As digital technologies such as Cloud, Analytics, Mobile, Social, and the Internet of Things gain momentum, they are altering market structures and business models. I believe digital capabilities increasingly will determine which companies create or lose value. At Marlabs, we partner with clients to capture the growth opportunity offered by digital. We prioritize client satisfaction over everything else and our focus on speed and innovation is our differentiation. And importantly, we are of the right size, which means we are large enough for our clients' comfort and small enough to be nimble. Leveraging our extensive technology and domain expertise and high performance teams, we deliver innovative technology solutions and services that help clients meet their IT and business challenges.

Siby Vadakekkara

Chief Executive Officer

Marlabs was ranked number one in the application development category in CMP Media’s Fast Growth 100 and rated as the “Ten software experts you should know”. The company was also recognized as one of the “50 Best Places to Work in New Jersey” among large businesses. Marlabs is a past winner of the Deloitte & Touché Fast 50 program, a program that recognizes the 50 fastest growing technology companies in New Jersey. Marlabs has been ranked among the top 100 privately held businesses in New Jersey. Marlabs has also been included in the Global Services 100 – ranking of the top 100 companies that define outsourcing. The Software 500 – ranking of the largest software providers globally, is yet another list that has featured Marlabs.

Siby made it his mission to transform Marlabs into a consulting and outsourcing services leader that raises customers’ competitive advantage through developing IP and stepping up efficiencies. A number of recognitions followed for Siby including being selected as an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist and the sole inductee in the Inc 500 Hall of Fame in 2006 for having made it into the Inc. 500 list (the fastest growing privately held companies in the US) for five years in a row. Also, Fortune Business Magazine (FSB) and Winning Work Places conferred on him the “Best Boss” distinguished finalist award in 2006.

Siby started his career with a consulting stint at Genentech, working on GIS applications for military bases in California.

Siby holds a Masters degree in Engineering from Texas Tech University and a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from College of Engineering, India.

Siby has mentored several startups as part of the TIE mentoring program and has also mentored MBA students at Harvard as part of the YPO/HBS mentoring program. However, for Siby, all work and no play would make life dull. Therefore, outside the office Siby enjoys tennis and golf.

Siby always attests that it is the passion of his people to grow and do things they haven’t done before—in addition to globalization of services and taking of risks not usually taken by privately owned firms—that has ushered in a winning work culture, which has shaped the company over the last ten years.

Sanjay Vidyadharan

Chief Administrative Officer

Combining the dual roles of Chief Administrative Officer & General Counsel at Marlabs, Sanjay deftly manages two very seemingly diverse worlds. One: the world of contracts and agreements where every word needs to be carefully analyzed for its import. The other: the fast moving world of technology, both internal IT as well as clients’ IT systems, where complexity is the name of the game. With a master’s degree in law backed by an MBA, Sanjay has an excellent handle on all matters legal. As an engineer with a post graduate degree in information systems, technology is pretty much second nature to Sanjay. A founding member, Sanjay has played a key role in anchoring the growth of the organization right from its inception, a track record that landed Marlabs in the Inc. 500 Hall of Fame.

Sanjay set up the legal function at Marlabs with team members based both in the US as well in Marlabs’ India offices. Entering into several hundreds of new contracts every year is not a matter to be taken lightly. By implementing comprehensive legal review processes and governance frameworks, Sanjay was able to ensure that every contract was carefully scrutinized and smoothly executed. The key was to make sure that the legal team played their critical behind the scenes role without ever slowing down the pace of the business, a task that Sanjay and his team have been able to adroitly accomplish. Indeed, Sanjay went a step ahead and initiated a Legal Process Outsourcing business, attempting to convert these specialized skills into a revenue earner.

Likewise IT systems, the several servers and networks, provide a key platform for the solutions that Marlabs delivers to its customers. By putting in place the internal IT team (again in the US and in India) and establishing enterprise-wide processes, Sanjay helped bring Marlabians closer to each other and to their customers. With ever increasing threats, securing the perimeter and protecting data became a vital responsibility. For which, Sanjay brought on board a team of information security professionals who today play a key role in raising the security posture of the organization. Not one to be content with supporting internal operations, Sanjay quickly turned the IT and security expertise into a line of business, something that has today become a key bulwark of the offerings suite that Marlabs takes to market.

Above all, Sanjay is an inspirational leader who leads from the front, making sure to stay on top of the details of the intricate areas that fall under his purview without ever “missing the forest for the trees.” Several of his team members have been with him for over seven to 10 years, the long tenures a testament to the quality of his leadership. A senior member of the Marlabs executive team, Sanjay plays a key role in setting strategic direction for the organization and moving it forward.
