About Me

My story, my values, and what drives me.

Prashanth Vedartham

My Story

I'm Prashanth — an IT professional with 14+ years of international experience spanning financial services, healthcare, and technology. My career has taken me from managing mission-critical infrastructure at global enterprises like Fidelity Investments and Cisco, to completing a Master of Digital Business with First Class Honours from the University of Waikato, and now building customer success at a New Zealand healthtech startup.

In 2022, I made the leap to New Zealand — a country that has rewarded me with breathtaking landscapes, a gentler pace of life, and a renewed sense of what matters. This website is my digital home: a place to share my journey, my thinking, and the things that inspire me along the way.

What Drives Me

I am drawn to the intersection of strategy, technology, and people. Whether it's designing resilient IT services, exploring how AI can transform organisations, or volunteering for causes close to my heart — mental health, education, and conservation — I seek to contribute meaningfully. I believe that clarity of purpose, continuous learning, and genuine human connection are the foundations of a life well lived.

Core Values

Curiosity

Staying open to new ideas, places, and perspectives — whether in technology, nature, or the quiet moments in between.

Purpose

Seeking meaning and intention in my work and personal life, and striving to make a quiet but lasting positive impact.

Connection

Valuing authentic relationships — with people, with nature, and with the communities I am part of wherever I am in the world.
