Kuber Sharma is Senior Director of Product Marketing at UiPath, where he leads go-to-market for the Agentic Business Orchestration portfolio, including Autopilot and Maestro. He works on one problem: how enterprise AI actually gets to market, and why it stalls between pilot and production.

He is the author of four practitioner frameworks for enterprise AI go-to-market: the Augmented Marketing Decision Architecture (AMDA), a three-zone model for which AI decisions need human review; the Pilot Trap, a five-stage model of why enterprise AI pilots die before production; the Three-Layer Trust Architecture; and the Belief Bridge. All four are published open at kubersharma.com with machine-readable versions on GitHub.

Before UiPath he spent twelve years in enterprise software: seven at Microsoft Azure, where he launched over a dozen cloud services, and five at Salesforce and Tableau, where he named the Zero Copy category, led the Tableau AI relaunch to 150 percent of pipeline target, and ran the State of Data and Analytics research program across 18 countries with 10,080 respondents.

Killing traditional marketing, one algorithm at a time. Building the infrastructure so everyone else can too.

Stephanie Unterweger spent 25 years in Fortune 500 marketing leadership—including Global Director of Marketing Communications for GE's $12+ billion Healthcare Systems division and brand strategy lead for Saint-Gobain's Life Sciences division—before three strokes in a single week rewired everything.

The strokes left her struggling to find words. During recovery, she turned to AI as a cognitive bridge between what her brain knew and what it could produce. It worked—and it opened a door she hadn't known existed. As she went deeper, building AI into her own consulting work and helping clients do the same, a pattern emerged: organizations weren't failing at AI because the technology was lacking. They were failing because no one had built the infrastructure layer between human expertise and AI execution.
Teams were burning hours re-engineering prompts someone down the hall had already perfected. AI adoption was stalling not because of bad tools, but because of no system for managing how those tools got used. The prompts weren't the problem. The system was the problem.

So she built PromptFluent—the intelligent prompt management and AI execution infrastructure platform designed for the actual complexity of enterprise work. Not another prompt library. A platform that captures institutional knowledge, eliminates redundant AI effort across teams, and turns scattered prompt experimentation into governed, scalable, repeatable business processes. Built by a practitioner who's led the kind of high-stakes, cross-functional operations that most AI tools pretend don't exist.

Stephanie is also the Founder & CEO of Brands at Play, an AI-driven marketing strategy and automation agency, and author of CONTROL+ALT+DISRUPT: A Rebel's Guide to Brand Strategy in the Intelligence Era. Recognized by Thinkers360 as a Top 50 Woman in AI and a leading B2B influencer, she delivers provocative, experience-forged insights on AI execution governance, the enterprise adoption gap, and building antifragile organizations. Her contrarian perspective challenges everything businesses think they know about AI adoption—arguing that the winners won't be the ones with the best tools, but the ones who treat AI as infrastructure.

She lives in Cleveland, plays bass and sings lead in a rock band, and serves on the board of Hiram House Camp and Hawken School's Alumni Board. Part enterprise strategist, part AI infrastructure builder, part rock star—because shaking up how organizations operationalize AI requires exactly that kind of rebellious grit.
