Siemens Advanta appoints new Head of Automotive, Battery & Mobility, EMEA
Siemens Advanta exists as a consulting and implementation partner for businesses looking to expand within digital and sustainability sectors. It reaches across Siemens businesses and partners to help unlock new value. Looking at the e-mobility progress made by other parts of the Siemens business provides some insight into how Siemens Advanta can help.
With his recent appointment, Senapati brings significant automotive expertise to the table, including managerial and consulting positions at General Motors and Jaguar Land Rover, a ten-year career at Bentley Motors, and several years at Group Lotus – an OEM that has pivoted heavily towards electrification in recent years. Most recently, before joining Siemens Advanta, Senapati was a Managing Partner at Luminary Advisory Partners.
In his new role, Senapati will play a key role in managing and expanding the firm’s advisory and implementation offerings within the mobility space, particularly around electrified vehicles, battery technologies, and other forms of mobility.
With battery technology such as solid state on the horizon, and strategies such as software-defined vehicles and the Internet of Things (IoT) continuing to emerge, the next few years are set to be a busy time for Siemens’ professional services arm. This strategic appointment by Siemens Advanta displays its ambition to become a key consulting and integration partner for the increasing number of businesses making a strategy shift towards electric mobility.
Uday Senapati commented on his appointment:
“Being part of a company with such a rich legacy of innovation is both an honour and a source of daily inspiration. We are standing at the threshold of the greatest transformation the automotive and mobility industries have seen in over a century — a shift not just in technology, but in how the world moves. To work with brands that are shaping this future is deeply exciting. What drives me is the belief that within the Siemens ecosystem lies the potential to reimagine what’s possible and to solve the challenges that will define the next era of mobility.”
