Rich Naszcyniec

With over thirty years in the software industry at companies like Sybase, Siebel Systems, Oracle, IBM, and Red Hat (since 2012), I am currently an AI Technical Architect and AI Futurist. Previously at Red Hat, I led a team that enhanced worldwide sales through strategic sales plays and tactics for the entire portfolio. Prior to that, I managed technical competitive marketing for the Application Services (middleware) business unit.

Today, my mission is to demystify AI architecture, helping professionals and organizations understand how AI can deliver business value, drive innovation, and be effectively integrate into software solutions. I leverage my extensive experience to educate and guide on the strategic implementation of AI. My work focuses on explaining the components of AI architecture, their practical application, and how they can translate into tangible business benefits, such as gaining competitive advantage, differentiation, and delighting customers with simple yet innovative solutions.

I am passionate about empowering businesses to not only harness AI to anticipate future technological landscapes but also to shape them. I also strive to promote the responsible use of AI, enabling everyone to achieve more than they could without it.
