Anahita Mahmoudi’s journey at Capgemini has been marked by impressive growth and a passion for technology. Here’s how she started, and how she’s formed such a formidable career inside and outside of work!

Starting her career in 2012, Anahita Mahmoud joined Capgemini as an Application Consultant after completing her studies in Computer Science. With a love for problem-solving, she was drawn to technology as a means of creating impactful solutions. Her expertise spans various areas, including digital transformation, customer experience, and she has developed a reputation for her ability to deliver complex IT projects for high-profile clients.

Anahita’s career at Capgemini, which began in 2012 after completing her studies in Computer Science, has been defined by her passion for technology and impressive growth. As an Application Consultant, she quickly built expertise in areas such as digital transformation, customer experience, gaining a reputation for delivering complex IT projects to high-profile clients. Her focus on product management and digital transformation enables her to help companies modernise their technology, improve operational efficiency, and future-proof their processes to adapt to evolving technological demands.

As she grew into more senior roles, Anahita became a Managing Consultant, where she leads business analysis capability in DCX Capgemini. She is responsible for overseeing the implementation of digital transformation strategies, which often require a deep understanding of technology, business operations and people. Anahita emphasises the importance of collaboration between IT and business functions, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned in the pursuit of operational excellence.

Her ability to manage complex projects from inception to completion has earned her recognition both within Capgemini and across the tech industry.

A significant aspect of Anahita’s role is mentoring and developing the next generation of tech professionals. She leads youth programs at Capgemini, where she shares her knowledge and experience with graduates and young professionals entering the industry. Anahita is deeply invested in promoting cultural transformation within the tech sector, advocating for greater diversity, inclusion and work life balance. She believes that diversity drives innovation and that a range of perspectives is essential for solving today’s complex business problems.

Anahita’s leadership extends beyond her technical expertise and stems from wider ecosystem and learning experiences (Rotary Peace Fellowship, and  yoga schools). She is involved in Capgemini’s wider community-building efforts, promoting women in technology and supporting initiatives that encourage more young people, particularly women, to pursue careers in STEM fields. As an advocate for women in tech, Anahita uses her platform to address the challenges faced by women in male-dominated industries and to inspire others to break through these barriers. She is proud of the opportunities she has had to mentor and coach rising stars in the tech world, helping them navigate the industry and build successful careers.

Her dedication to her work, combined with her mentorship efforts, has led to her being recognised with the prestigious TechWomen100 award in 2020. Although Anahita’s career is full of professional accomplishments, she is quick to point out that her true passion lies in helping others which has led her volunteering work in humanitarian field and social change initiatives over the past few years. Through her work at Capgemini, Anahita has made a significant impact on her clients, her colleagues, and the broader tech community. Her career is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and a passion for technology. As she continues to lead digital transformation efforts, Anahita Mahmoudi remains focused on delivering solutions that drive innovation and efficiency, while also fostering a more inclusive and diverse future for the tech industry.
