About

Technology, led from the inside.

Mandeep Chana is an award-winning technology executive and the founder of Opsvisory, a technology operations and advisory firm for Web3, AI and SaaS companies. A winner of CIO.com's Next CIO UK 2026 award, he has spent more than 25 years working as an engineer, an IT and product leader, and in CIO-level roles spanning fintech, global media, satellite communications, enterprise software and Web3.

He has led M&A technology due diligence, and built and separated companies from the ground up, delivering three full technology carve-outs with no playbook to follow. He has also built and run engineering and product teams, shipped commercial SaaS that customers paid for, and led AI transformation at the executive level.

His roles have carried multi-million-dollar budgets, and his focus has always been to make them work harder: leaner technology stacks, operating models built to scale, and follow-the-sun support that keeps teams moving around the clock. He measures technology the way a board does, through spend, return and outcomes you can track.

In 2026 he founded Opsvisory to give fast-growing companies what they rarely get: experienced leadership that sets the direction and stays to run it.
