About CoreAI & Keystone’s Vision
Leading enterprises realize AI must be a core enterprise function, on par with sales, marketing, manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics. However, many lack the resources and experience to develop and implement AI capabilities. Keystone offers CoreAI as a service to enterprises who want to build both the technology and the new organizational capabilities required to leapfrog their industry peers. Mishra’s appointment represents the latest in Keystone’s ongoing efforts to expand its capabilities and impact across various sectors.
“We are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI and its application within the enterprise sector. Devesh’s exceptional talent and his extensive background in leveraging innovative technology to scale businesses globally make him an invaluable addition to Keystone,” stated Marco Iansiti, Chairman of the Board at Keystone and author of the best-selling book, Competing in the Age of AI. “With Devesh at the helm of CoreAI product and technology, I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. His innovative approach and leadership will undoubtedly propel us towards achieving our vision of redefining the future of AI for enterprises, driving unparalleled advancements and unlocking new frontiers.”
In collaboration with Patrick Bajari (Keystone’s Chief Economist and Managing Director for CoreAI, and former Chief Economist at Amazon), who has been instrumental in shaping the strategic direction of Keystone’s programs, Mishra is set to spearhead the design and implementation of groundbreaking AI technologies. Together, their combined expertise will ensure Keystone remains at the forefront of AI innovation, transforming industries and enhancing human capabilities through intelligent technology.
