Engineering Intelligence Since 2007

We started with a simple idea: build a technology firm where people come first and engineering excellence drives everything. 18 years later, that idea powers AI solutions for enterprises across the globe.

Our story

A people-first firm, engineered to last.

About

Our Story

The idea was born over dinner at a Chicago restaurant in 2007. Ed Szofer, Rao Tummalapalli, and Swaminathan Mani asked: “What if we created a technology firm with a people-first culture that focused on solving complex challenges for growing companies?”

They’d worked together at Whittman-Hart, Divine Interventures, and Alliance Consulting — and knew what good engineering looked like. SenecaGlobal was built on that foundation.

Then: Enterprise Engineering

Custom software, cloud enablement, ERP modernization, managed services — delivered with a first-time-right track record.

Now: AI-Powered Engineering

The same discipline applied to AI solutions. Strategy, development, and deployment of production-grade AI systems that create measurable business value.

Leadership Team
