About Ashish S.

I lead the new Data & AI group at Siemens, owning technical strategy for Physical AI domain in chip‑to‑cloud ML, industrial foundation models, real‑time edge systems, and ML+controls integration.Previously, I spent 15+ years at Amazon/AWS building and scaling multi‑modal AI platforms. I led end‑to‑end organizations across engineering, product, and science with accountability for services such as Transcribe, Rekognition, Textract, and Bedrock - platforms that served billions of requests per month.I invented and launched several of these services and later grew them into internet‑scale platforms. Beyond engineering scale, I drove product strategy, go‑to‑market execution, and compliance alignment, reflecting general management scope across AI divisions.I also founded and led Amazon’s Responsible AI & Data organization (670+ people), creating governance frameworks and evaluation systems that enabled safe adoption of Bedrock and Titan foundation models. I hold 12 patents and have a track record of taking products from incubation to hundreds of millions in ARR.At Siemens I’m focused on solving hard Physical AI problems from accelerator co‑design and industrial foundation models to certifiable, low‑latency edge inference and ML+controls integration.I’m hiring engineers, researchers, product managers, and systems experts who want to build dependable AI that senses, decides, and acts.
