SKILLS
ABOUT ELYAS ACHKAR
As SVP, Head of AI and General Manager of Gia at G-P, I lead the strategy, execution, and growth of an AI-native platform transforming global employment and HR compliance.My career has been shaped by a consistent mission: building exceptional teams, turning advanced AI capabilities into real products, and creating technology that delivers meaningful business impact. I have always been energized by the intersection of innovation and execution — where research becomes product, product becomes platform, and platform becomes business value.That journey has taken me from launching Evolutionary AI products at Cognizant, to designing Sentient Ascent at Sentient Technologies (Evolv.ai), to now leading Gia at G-P. Across each chapter, I have focused on translating cutting-edge AI into scalable, trusted, customer-facing solutions.At G-P, I lead across AI, engineering, data, and product execution to scale Gia as a category-defining platform. My role extends beyond technology leadership to business leadership: aligning innovation with customer needs, operational scale, and commercial impact. I am passionate about building products customers love, developing leaders, and creating high-performance teams that can move boldly and execute with discipline.I joined G-P because I believe deeply in its mission: breaking down barriers to global business and creating opportunity for everyone, everywhere. Helping companies build compliant, high-impact global teams in days rather than months is innovation with real purpose.Outside of work, I bring the same curiosity and intensity to life: hiking remote trails, playing squash, exploring great wine regions, and crafting memorable travel experiences.
