Katelyn Jones

Katelyn Jones

Katelyn Jones, PhD, is the founder of Noetic, a decision strategy and AI advisory practice for C-suite and senior leaders. She works with executives who are making significant investments in strategic initiatives and AI but can't clearly connect those investments to outcomes their boards, investors, or funders care about — helping them build the decision infrastructure that closes that gap.

Her background spans academic research, executive leadership, and teaching. Trained as a political scientist, her doctoral work examined how decisions are made in international organizations and how those choices play out on the ground. A growing focus of her work is on supporting leaders in navigating AI adoption beyond efficiency and compliance, helping them deploy AI in ways that have meaningful outcomes, specific impact goals, and ultimately do more good than harm.

She teaches Decision Strategy to MBA students at Loyola University Chicago's Quinlan School of Business, serves as Board Chair of Joel Hall Dancers & Center, and has keynoted events including the PMI Chicagoland Leadership Forum and Compass Connect. Her work has been featured in the Chicago Tribune and Crain's Chicago Business.

Katelyn speaks on decision strategy and leveraging AI for maximum impact. Her recent talks include the keynote "Measuring What Matters: AI's Social Impact" and the workshop "Decision Strategy: Building a Toolkit for Your Leadership Team and Board."

Naveen Chatlapalli

Naveen Chatlapalli

Hello, I’m Naveen, a Manager of Solution Architecture, Agentic AI Architect, GenAI Engineer, and technology writer based in Dallas, Texas.

I currently lead a team of Solution Architects at Ashling Partners, where I am responsible for technical leadership, solution quality, team development, and the successful delivery of enterprise automation and AI initiatives. My role involves guiding architects through complex technical decisions, establishing reusable architecture patterns, supporting customer discovery, and ensuring that proposed solutions are secure, scalable, reliable, and aligned with measurable business outcomes.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from San Francisco Bay University. My technology journey began at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada, where I built a strong foundation in software engineering and problem-solving.

I started my professional career as a .NET Developer at a startup. During that time, I discovered UiPath and entered the field of Robotic Process Automation. Winning first prize in an automation hackathon became an important turning point in my career and strengthened my interest in building practical technology solutions.

After joining Ashling Partners, I progressed from RPA Developer to Lead Developer, Solution Architect, and eventually Manager of the Solution Architecture team. Throughout this journey, I have designed and led enterprise automation, intelligent document processing, generative AI, and agentic automation solutions across multiple industries.

As a manager, I focus on helping Solution Architects grow beyond implementation. I coach team members on architecture thinking, customer communication, technical discovery, delivery ownership, and translating business problems into solutions that create measurable value. I also work closely with delivery, sales, engineering, and customer stakeholders to turn emerging technologies into repeatable enterprise capabilities.

I am particularly interested in agentic AI systems that can perceive, reason, and act across complex business workflows. My work focuses on orchestration, human-in-the-loop processes, AI governance, enterprise security, reliability, and the practical deployment of AI agents in real-world environments.

Outside of my core role, I enjoy creating software products, experimenting with emerging AI technologies, and writing about artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, and solution architecture. My goal is to explain complex technical concepts through practical examples, real implementations, and lessons learned from experience.

I also lead the UiPath Dallas community, organizing virtual and in-person sessions that bring together automation professionals, technology leaders, and practitioners to learn, collaborate, and share ideas.

In recognition of my contributions to the automation community and my expertise in Core Automation and AI, I have received the UiPath Most Valuable Professional award. I have also served as a judge for the Globee Awards, where I evaluated technology and cybersecurity innovations from organizations and professionals around the world.

I remain committed to building useful technology, developing strong technical leaders, and helping organizations adopt automation and AI in ways that are responsible, scalable, and commercially valuable.

Louise Humpington

Louise Humpington

Louise Humpington brings nearly three decades of experience across commercial law (Financial Services Litigation), international development, human rights, and AI ethics and governance. She has worked in some of the world's most demanding governance environments, including as Country Director for Oxfam in Papua New Guinea and as a Non-Executive Director of Amnesty International UK. Her work focuses on applying those legal, regulatory and human impact lenses to the design, development, and deployment of AI and in interrogating the principles of fairness and accountability to that live within their datasets. She argues that governance must be viewed as a mycelium network and that ethical considerations are no longer a cultural nicety. They are foundational to mitigate risk, avoid legal and bottom line liability, and ensuring that real world harms are caught before damage is done. Governance must be preventative, not a mop up exercise.

Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara is a Senior Manager in Agentic AI at EXL, where he leads engineering teams and advises Fortune 500 clients on building, scaling, and governing enterprise AI systems. With over 9 years at the frontier of Conversational AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI, Akshay brings rare depth — from hands-on platform architecture to C-suite advisory — making him one of the few practitioners who can credibly bridge the gap between technical implementation and enterprise strategy.

His client portfolio spans some of the most demanding industries in the world: healthcare (CVS Health, McKesson, CoverMyMeds), financial services (Experian), and industrial manufacturing (Stanley Black & Decker, Cinch). Across these engagements, Akshay has designed and deployed production-grade Conversational AI systems leveraging platforms including Google CX Agent Studio, Dialogflow CX, Amelia v4–v7, Sierra AI, Omilia, and Google Cloud Vertex AI — consistently driving operational efficiency, cost reduction, and improved customer experience at scale.
In recent years, Akshay has deepened his focus on the emerging agentic AI paradigm — including multi-agent orchestration, RAG-based knowledge systems, LLM integration, and responsible AI governance — areas where enterprise demand is rapidly outpacing available talent and proven frameworks. His work gives him a practitioner’s perspective on what actually works in production, beyond the hype.

Speaking: Akshay spoke on “The Illusion of Agentic AI” at Google I/O Extended New Delhi (Aug 2026), sharing field lessons on what separates real autonomous agents from workflow automation dressed up as agents — drawing on his experience shipping 30+ production voice agents in regulated industries.

Akshay holds certifications as an Nvidia Certified Associate in Generative AI & LLMs, Amelia 7.0 Agentic AI, and holds two Google GenAI certifications.
