Chamarthi brings more than three decades of experience leading digital and AI transformation across global industrial organizations, including senior leadership roles at Stellantis, Goodyear, and ZF. She has generated tens of billions in enterprise value by embedding AI directly into operating models, turning complex systems into measurable business performance.

The event brings together students, industry leaders, and mentors for an evening of networking, insight-sharing, and career development. Following the keynote, attendees will participate in speed mentoring sessions covering AI in the workplace, career navigation, and building a differentiated professional identity.
"AI is reshaping how work gets done, and it creates an opportunity to elevate human potential at scale," said Chamarthi. "The leaders who stand out will combine technical fluency with judgment, adaptability, and the ability to translate technology into real outcomes. That combination defines the future of work."
Key themes addressed throughout the event include:
Applying AI tools, including large language models and agentic systems, to automate routine work and unlock higher-value contribution
Developing durable skills such as critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and human-in-the-loop oversight
Using prompt engineering to drive business outcomes across research, analysis, and decision-making
Building meaningful professional relationships in hybrid and digital environments
Navigating non-linear career paths and accelerating early-career differentiation
Chamarthi's keynote is scheduled for 6:05-6:25 p.m., followed by additional programming including a second keynote, speed mentoring sessions, and closing remarks.
This engagement reflects Chamarthi's growing role as a leading voice on AI adoption, operational transformation, and the evolving relationship between technology and talent.
