The appointments bring to Reltio deep expertise in enterprise data, AI strategy, and digital transformation at a time when companies are under pressure to unify fragmented data and deliver real-time intelligence to fuel AI copilots, agents, and applications.

“We are thrilled to welcome Abhi, John, and Venkat to our Advisory Board, particularly in this exciting era of AI, as we help enterprises shift from fragmented data to real-time intelligence,” said Manish Sood, CEO and Founder of Reltio. “Each of these leaders brings sharp insight, deep expertise, and a shared belief in our mission: to unify data and deliver trusted, real-time context for enterprise AI.”

Abhi Yadav  is a serial entrepreneur and decision-intelligence pioneer at the intersection of AI, marketing, and customer data.

He also co-founded the AI Innovators Community and Founders United. Abhi brings a unique perspective on automating intelligence and advises go-to-market and data leaders on building and scaling data-driven growth engines..

John Repko has led technology strategy and operations for some of the world’s largest enterprises. Most recently, he served as EVP and Global CIO at AIG. He has also served on the Boards of Blackboard Insurance and Bioclinica and was the Global CIO at Johnson Controls. John is currently a member of the .406 Ventures Data + AI Executive Council, a Business and Technology Advisor and a Professor at the Villanova Business School, where he brings decades of CIO-level expertise and enterprise transformation experience to investors, clients and students.

“AI models are only as good as the data that fuels them,” said Abhi Yadav. “Reltio has built a platform that turns raw, siloed data into real-time intelligence that can power AI use cases across the enterprise. I’m excited to support that vision.”

“Data fragmentation is one of the biggest obstacles to delivering the full value of AI and digital transformation,” said John Repko. “Reltio is addressing this challenge head-on with a platform that’s built for scale, trust, and real-time needs.”

“We are entering a new era where intelligent agents and AI systems will depend on reliable, real-time enterprise context,” said Venkat Venkatraman. “Reltio’s approach to unifying and managing data is foundational to this shift, and I’m honored to be part of this journey.”
