Our Mission Is To Change The Way You Work

A self-declared “enthusiast for all I do,” Sanjeev’s passion for leveraging technology to solve business problems inspired him to found The Athene Group in 2001. With an extensive career in the IT business, he witnessed the evolution from mainframe computers to client servers to the cloud-based Internet age, and is excited to that Skience can continue to evolve in step with the industry’s many ongoing advancements.

Sanjeev has a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Bangalore University, India, although he never saw himself working in that industry. He found the world of technology to be much more challenging and fun. He was a developer and programmer before turning his talents to starting and running a business that has enabled him to build extensive relationships with financial services firms of all sizes, within the US and abroad.

While working with clients and inventing new solutions are Sanjeev’s top priorities, he also has many hobbies—including biking, hiking, and eating great food—all of which he enjoys with his wife and son. He also participates in fundraising bike rides each year, and sponsors education for several children who would not have the funds to go to school otherwise.
