Career Highlights

• Chief Executive Officer of Egen, a cloud, data and AI services firm and Google Cloud Premier Partner.
• Launched Egen’s Agentic Change Enablement Practice in July 2026 and appointed Christy Mayr to lead it as Head of Agentic Change Enablement.

Professional Journey

Somani became chief executive of Egen between November 2025 and July 2026. He succeeded Saleem Janmohamed, who had led the company as Chairman and CEO through its October 2024 acquisition of Qarik, a multinational Google Cloud Premier Partner founded in 2019, and who was still in that role in November 2025. Egen had positioned itself as a pure-play services partner for advanced data and AI applications on Google Cloud. After the Qarik deal it described itself as having more than 700 technology specialists in Canada, Europe, India and the United States.

Somani’s first publicly visible initiative as CEO was the July 2026 launch of Egen’s Agentic Change Enablement Practice. The practice rests on an argument he put plainly: “Agentic AI will not create value simply because it is deployed.” In his view, value comes when AI agents are built into real workflows, employees understand how their work is changing, and the organisation has the governance, training and measurement to scale adoption. The practice uses Google Cloud technologies including Gemini Enterprise and combines workflow redesign, workforce readiness and ROI measurement. Egen hired digital transformation veteran Christy Mayr to build and lead it.
