Candidate profile: Guru Krishnamurthy highlights tech and nonprofit background, proposes industry–school partnerships
Summary
Candidate Guru Krishnamurthy described a 30-year technology career, recent U.S. citizenship, and nonprofit work preserving the Kannada language; he said priorities include consistent instructional quality and stronger links between industry and schools.
Guru Krishnamurthy told the board he moved to the U.S. in 2015 and to Mountain House in 2019, and that he recently became a U.S. citizen. He described a 30-plus-year career in the technology industry with roles at companies including Microsoft, Dell and Workday, and said he has led a nonprofit to preserve the Kannada language in schools.
Krishnamurthy said he would prioritize consistent, high-quality instruction as the district grows and suggested expanding partnerships between academia and industry to give students practical exposure (he cited opportunities to explain technologies such as artificial intelligence in lay terms). He framed his combination of professional and nonprofit experience as preparing him to help set vision and execution plans for the district.
