The appointment comes as Trianz completes a transition from traditional IT services to a “Transformation Services as a Software” model, with platform revenues growing at triple-digit rates year-over-year and the Concierto business reaching sustained profitability.
Vadapalli brings nearly two decades of experience in software finance, including a long tenure at IBM, where he managed finances for a global software and services business unit.
He later served as vice president of Finance at AppViewX during its Series B phase and most recently as Deputy CFO at Material in New York, where he led financial strategy during a business model transition.
According to the company, his work has focused on scaling software profit-and-loss structures, capital allocation, forecasting, and building financial systems for growth.
“We developed a vision powered by research and data driven insights to transform Trianz itself — and correctly anticipated what customers would need in the AI era,” Manchala said. “What we need now is the financial infrastructure to scale what we’ve built globally.”
Vadapalli said the company has already executed a complex business model transition with financial discipline. “The opportunity here is to bring that thinking and financial infrastructure to an AI led B2B platform at the beginning of its global growth arc,” he said.
Trianz said its Concierto platform—an AI-powered system spanning cloud migration, modernization, and management—is now operating across 19 countries. The company added more than 100 enterprise customers over the past three quarters and has filed 30 patent applications since May 2025, with plans to exceed 60 within a year.
The company also cited expanding partnerships, including its status as an AWS Premier ISV Partner and integrations with cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, alongside a partner ecosystem of more than 50 systems integrators.
Vadapalli holds an MBA in Finance and Accounting from Carnegie Mellon University and a master’s degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
