In her role as Senior Vice President, AI Innovation Hub, Stefanie Chiras leads Red Hat's strategy for engaging with and catalyzing regional AI ecosystems. The initiative's first and primary focus is the Massachusetts AI innovation hub. As a key part of this engagement, she will lead Red Hat's contribution to creating The Open Accelerator, a new AI accelerator for startups. Success in Massachusetts will serve as the model for scaling into additional collaborations.
This mission directly leverages her previous experience as Senior Vice President, Partner Ecosystem Success. In that role, she was responsible for building strong collaborations with and between partners across Red Hat’s global ecosystem. Chiras now applies this proven blueprint for ecosystem building to the AI Innovation Hub, fostering the critical relationships that will power the next generation of AI.
Earlier in her career at Red Hat, Chiras was Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux organization, where she was responsible for the entire product line.
