Imagine a world where AI agents, empowered by Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and long-term memory through vector databases, can anticipate needs, offer personalized insights, and drive decision-making in real-time. These agents will handle professional services requests, automate IT workflows and even supervise other agents.
This keynote will challenge you to think beyond the technical intricacies and consider the broader impact of AI on your business strategy and the future of work. We explore the transformative potential of intelligent agents, and a vision for enhancing your infrastructure to harness their full capabilities in enterprise settings.
We'll start by exploring the core components of AI infrastructure that are essential to build robust, scalable, and flexible systems for the deployment and operation of AI agents. The key question isn't just about training custom models or leveraging pre-trained ones—it's about envisioning a future where AI agents seamlessly integrate and enhance every aspect of business operations.
Building trust and confidence in AI within an enterprise is crucial for successful deployment. Ensuring data security, protecting privacy, and adhering to regulatory requirements are critical components of your AI strategy. We will also discuss how to design guard rails and layer on supervisor agents with a human-in-the-loop for more control.

Founding Team Member @Rockset - the Search and AI Database (Acquired by OpenAI), Previously Built and Launched Cloud, Data & AI Products @Oracle, @VMware
I am driven by a passion for building technology that makes a meaningful impact on the world. Throughout my career, I’ve embraced the blend of technical and business challenges in bringing new products to life in the Cloud, Data, and AI space.
As a founding team member at Rockset, where I served as CPO & CMO, I had the privilege of shaping the cloud-native search, analytics, and AI database designed for real-time indexing. Over time, we secured over $100M in funding and grew from zero to more than 300 customers, managing several hundreds of terabytes at scale. This journey culminated in Rockset's acquisition by OpenAI, where it now powers real-time AI-driven search and retrieval.
Before Rockset, I was part of the early team at Ravello Systems, contributing to its rapid growth over three years, which ultimately led to its acquisition by Oracle. My journey also includes launching VMware’s first data product, vSAN, which quickly became one of the company’s fastest-growing product lines.
My leadership philosophy centers on empowering teams with autonomy and accountability while constantly seeking the most leveraged, the most strategic paths because I truly believe that less is more. I’ve also learned over time that the pursuit of excellence demands relentless grit - you gotta think big and stay optimistic. It’s a marathon.
When I'm not immersed in work, I enjoy experimenting with new vegetarian and gluten-free recipes in the kitchen (who knew healthy food could also be tasty?), finding new ways to stay active (currently into yoga and strength training) and some gardening. It’s my way of bringing balance and creativity to my life, so I can stay grounded.
