About Hagar Sudha

Product leader with deep experience building and scaling enterprise AI, GenAI, and agentic platforms from early concept (0→1) to global adoption. I’ve owned end-to-end product strategy, execution, and outcomes for platforms used by 1M+ users across large, complex organizations, delivering $20M+ in measurable annual business impact.At Boeing, I led the product vision, multi-year roadmap, and execution for enterprise GenAI and agentic platforms spanning manufacturing copilots, requirements intelligence systems, work-order automation, and executive decision agents. These products reduced defect resolution time by 30–40%, improved first-time-right manufacturing outcomes by 25%+, stabilized requirements freeze for complex engineering programs by ~50%, and replaced manual reporting with near real-time, decision-grade intelligence. I worked closely with engineering, data, design, security, legal, and senior leadership to balance speed vs reliability, experimentation vs platform stability, and short-term delivery vs long-term architecture.Previously at VMware, I owned large-scale data, analytics, and GenAI-powered cloud cost optimization platforms used by 25K+ enterprise customers. I defined API-first product contracts, schemas, SLAs, and deprecation strategies; led global rollouts and go-to-market execution; and drove adoption frameworks across cloud and SaaS ecosystems. These efforts enabled up to 30% customer cloud cost reduction, improved cost accountability, and supported nearly $1B in managed cloud spend.Earlier in my career, I built and shipped B2B SaaS, platform, and IoT products across organizations including BrandMuscle, Hubble Connected, and Happiest Minds giving me strong technical depth, systems thinking, and empathy for engineering teams. I’m comfortable operating at scale with ambiguity, writing crisp product narratives, defining success metrics, and making hard trade-offs in fast-moving environments.My core strengths include:AI, GenAI, and agentic product strategy0→1 product development and global scalingPlatform and API-first product designData-driven prioritization and ROI modelingCross-functional leadership across engineering, data, design, legal, and exec stakeholdersEducation includes an MBA from IIM Bangalore, a Chief Product Officer (CPO) certification from IIM Kozhikode, and advanced GenAI and data strategy training from Northwestern University – Kellogg School of Management. While my education strengthens my foundation, my value is defined by shipping products at scale and proving impact in production.

Experience

1. Lead Product Manager

   Boeing

   Feb 2024 — Present · Bangalore Urban, IN

   Owned the vision, multi-year strategy, and delivery for Boeing’s Enterprise GenAI & Agentic AI platform, covering NCR Co-Pilot, Requirements Intelligence Platform, Work Order Co-Pilot, and Executive Intelligence Agents, and grew adoption from 0 to 1M+ users across 8+ business units and 30+ partners, reaching 10K+ daily users within 9 months. • Led the full build and launch of NCR Co-Pilot, an AI assistant for manufacturing teams, cutting defect resolution time by 30–40%, avoiding $20M+ in annual quality costs, and improving first-time-right outcomes by 25%+. • Built agent-driven manufacturing intelligence that surfaced defect patterns 2–3× faster than manual analysis, helping teams prevent repeat issues earlier and stabilize production. • Delivered the Requirements Intelligence Platform MVP, using LLMs and agent-based validation to improve requirements freeze stability by 50% and reduce late-stage rework across complex engineering programs. • Rolled out agent-powered executive and operational dashboards that reduced manual reporting by ~60% and helped leaders move from delayed updates to near real-time, data-backed decisions.• Drove the Basis of Estimates (BoE) Agentic AI solution for NASA, shortening proposal cycles by 35–45% and speeding up time-to-contract, while also leading the Work Order Co-Pilot (in progress) expected to improve manufacturing execution efficiency by 20–25%. • Led product strategy and delivery by translating customer and business needs, requirements, and value propositions; owned end-to-end execution.• Shaped portfolio priorities through clear executive narratives and ROI models, helping leadership make faster investment decisions and realize value sooner.
