About us

    About Wolkn Minds

    We help product and leadership teams make technical decisions they can act on. That can mean fractional CTO support, a stronger SaaS strategy, an AWS partnership motion or hands‑on Cloud, SaaS and AI delivery.

    Founder expertise

    Siva Sadhu

    Founder and Principal Consultant

    Siva works at the intersection of product strategy, engineering execution and commercial alignment. Across 18+ years he has written code, designed cloud and AI architecture, built production SaaS platforms and advised software leaders, providing the kind of cross-functional technical direction companies seek from a fractional CTO.

    That experience also goes into the products we build ourselves. Our first public one is SnapUtsav, the virtual photo booth for every celebration.

    Siva's profile, certifications and community memberships are on the Team page.

    Advised 50+ software companies across EMEA, from startups to scale‑ups, including direct roadmap and strategy work with CPOs and VP Product leaders.

    Led SaaS modernisation and AI-native architecture work through AWS SaaS Factory and ISV partner programmes.

    Built and shipped multi-tenant, cloud-native platforms, combining hands‑on architecture with engineering leadership.

    Shaped AWS technical partnership motions spanning validation, marketplace readiness, co-sell alignment and joint go-to-market work.

    Delivered 20+ talks at AWS re:Invent, Summits and industry events, and authored six AWS Partner Network articles.

    These credentials describe Siva’s experience before and through founding Wolkn Minds. They are not presented as Wolkn Minds client results.

    Our Mission

    To help European companies turn product ambition into sound technical choices and working systems. We stay close to the business goal, the engineering reality and the people who need to own the result.

    Based in Europe

    Headquartered in the Netherlands, we work with European and global teams building SaaS products and digital platforms. That brings practical familiarity with GDPR, data residency and enterprise buying in Europe.
