About Safebox
Anil Malhotra, CEO & Founder, spent 25 years accountable for enterprise technology decisions inside Fortune 500 and publicly traded companies.
At Mattel, he led technology due diligence and post-merger integration for major acquisitions. At DIRECTV, he ran enterprise technology operations across applications, infrastructure, and the PMO. Across engagements at Toyota Financial Services, Nestlé USA, and others, he delivered the platform implementations and operational turnarounds that most advisors have only read about.
When he founded Safebox in 2017, the firm's first engagement was its model in miniature: at a high-growth global technology company, Anil took an enterprise platform the client had selected, ran the buyer-side selection of the implementation partner, and led the global rollout to 15,000+ users across 80 countries — governing the vendors and the delivery from strategy through go-live and steady state, and keeping them accountable to the outcome they sold.
He has seen $10M decisions made with the wrong people in the room. He has seen seven-year implementations fail, and no one in the room could understand why. He has seen companies pay 40% more than necessary for platforms and delivery because they didn't understand what they were buying.
That is why Safebox exists — so that companies making decisions they cannot afford to get wrong have someone experienced, independent, and accountable on their side of the table.
Anil holds an MBA from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Connect with him on LinkedIn.
The Firm
Safebox LLC was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, with an owned delivery center in Santiago, Chile, operated through Safebox Chile SpA. We serve mid-market companies from $200M to $2B in revenue across a diverse portfolio of industries — financial services, technology, agriculture, healthcare services, specialty manufacturing, and consumer goods.
The firm works two ways, on one principle. Our advisory practice represents buyers in high-stakes enterprise technology decisions — independent of vendors and implementors. Our nearshore talent practice staffs and runs the work underneath — our employees, from our own Santiago operation, one seat at a time or as a managed function. In both, Safebox is paid by you and accountable to you. No vendor money. No reseller margin. No revenue from the implementors we oversee.
