"I am proud to lead an incredible team of associates to deliver mission critical digital solutions to our clients across the world. I want to thank EY for this recognition and our team for their commitment and hard work to become the trusted technology partner for hundreds of global businesses."

Under Patil's leadership since 2016, Orion has grown both organically and inorganically through selective strategic growth investments and acquisitions. Patil has fostered a culture of continuous innovation and learning across Orion and has driven the company's intellectual property focused solutions, which includes twelve issued and eight pending U.S. and international patents. He has also significantly expanded the company's global footprint to 14 major global delivery locations, including new locations in Mexico, Romania, and Turkey. Orion's domain expertise has grown significantly under Patil in key industries such as Hi-Tech, Telecom, Media & Entertainment, Professional Services, Financial Services, and Healthcare.
