Vivek
Bharathi Muruganandam
AI Product Management Leader
IBM
Vivek comes across as very GTM- and ecosystem-driven in AI, rather than purely product-definition focused. His role sits at the intersection of product, partnerships, and commercial execution particularly in enterprise AI and agentic systems which is where a lot of the real β€œscale” work in AI is actually happening right now. What stands out is the emphasis on orchestration across hyperscalers, GSIs, ISVs, and partners. That typically signals someone who is less focused on building models themselves and more focused on how AI products get adopted, distributed, and monetised across complex enterprise environments. In practice, that often means shaping positioning, enabling field teams, and translating technical capability into something that can survive procurement, compliance, and real-world deployment friction. His broader positioning around agentic AI ecosystems suggests a strong bias toward platform thinking i.e. AI as something embedded into workflows and partner networks, rather than standalone applications.

What PMs actually need from their CPO
Product has never been more central to business success but expectations of the CPO role have never been higher. In this candid keynote, Vivek shares what they actually need from their Chief Product Officer beyond vision decks and roadmap updates. From driving commercial outcomes to making tough trade-offs and aligning the organisation, this session offers a clear view of what great product leadership looks like from the other side. Expect honest reflections on where CPOs deliver the most value, where they often fall short, and what separates true business leaders from functional experts.
