Speaker | Sr. Program Development Manager| Volterra Technologies

From engineering floors to global boardrooms, Srishti has built trust across languages and time zones. Surrounded by gears and doubts, she learned that impact creates space for belonging. Lessons have followed her through four continents designing EV parts in the U.S., leading cross-cultural teams in Europe, and managing a $120M manufacturing project at Northvolt. Her work sits at the intersection of complex operational systems, emerging AI technologies and organizational transformation. Drawing on experience leading high-value industrial programs and AI-enabled initiatives, she focuses on a central challenge facing enterprises adopting agentic AI: How do we give AI systems greater autonomy without giving up accountability? Her current work and community contributions explore trusted AI adoption, agentic AI governance and the transition from AI experimentation to operational deployment.
