Jodie Ewin

Ruchi is the kind of integration leader Boards trust instinctively - someone who brings clarity in ambiguity, calm in complexity, and decisive control with absolute command of her craft when the stakes are highest. I can, without hesitation, add - Without her, we wouldn't have been able to achieve Day-1 or TSA Exit on budget and on schedule - when meeting official TSA Exit timeline seemed almost impossible at multiple points and we were under tight budget conditions.

As IT M&A Director, Ruchi was one of the most stabilising force on Hitachi Rail's strategic acquisition of Omnicom carve‑out and integration programme. In an environment characterised by ambiguity, pace and competing stakeholder priorities, her defining strength was bringing clarity - demystifying complexity and turning uncertainty into structured, executable decisions.

What truly sets Ruchi apart is her calm confidence and assured sense of control. Even during the most intense and high‑pressure moments of the transaction, her presence gave confidence and reassurance to senior stakeholders across Hitachi, Seller and Omnicom organization.

Ruchi influenced key decisions and outcomes at the most senior levels of Hitachi Rail and Seller. She shaped executive and board decisions at critical inflection points - particularly across Day‑1 readiness and TSA strategy - ensuring the right calls were made at the right time.

From Sign‑to‑Close through TSA exit, Ruchi maintained command over the entire deal landscape - core IT decisions, governance, risks, cost drivers and delivery sequencing. At multiple points, we took strategic and materially cost‑effective decisions as a direct result of her judgement, challenge and foresight. She did not simply manage delivery; she actively protected and enhanced our deal value.
