Hi, I'm Vignesh.

MBA · MS in Business Analytics

I trained as a mechanical engineer and spent more than five years in maintenance and reliability at Dow, where I led a program that moved 15 manufacturing sites onto a new maintenance system.

I recently completed an MBA and an MS in Business Analytics at George Washington University. I brought my experience of leading implementation into the classroom, where my focus expanded to the business decisions behind it: which opportunities to pursue, what the analysis supports and where technology can help. My work in business strategy and applied AI builds on that combination of analytical judgment and practical experience.

2024–2026

George Washington University

MBA · MS in Business Analytics

I completed both degrees in May 2026 and served as president of the Graduate Consulting Club, where I developed introductory consulting materials and helped organize case practice, networking and community events.

2018–2024

Dow

Maintenance and reliability programs

I was on the Remote Maintenance and Reliability team in Dow’s global engineering center, covering manufacturing sites in the US and Europe. Our work involved implementing predictive maintenance strategies, which use corrosion rates to estimate each plant asset’s remaining life and set how often it is inspected based on its risk of failure. I started by building the equipment data needed to calculate that risk, from plant drawings and operating records. After supporting about 10 site rollouts, I led two implementations end to end. In my final role, I was the program lead for moving this data to a new maintenance system across 15 sites and 30,000 assets. I reworked the rollout from five phases to two, and we finished a year ahead of schedule.

2014–2018

Undergraduate study

Mechanical engineering and student leadership

I captained a 25-member team entering BAJA, a student off-road vehicle competition. I coordinated five teams responsible for different vehicle systems, alongside fundraising and fabrication. We built our first vehicle, but a failed brake test ended our participation.
