Alpesh Doshi's biography

At a glance

  • Founder and CEO building AI systems from scratch
  • AI adviser to boards, C-suites, finance and retail leaders
  • 25+ years bridging enterprise architecture and digital transformation
Alpesh Doshi is an AI practitioner, enterprise architect, and entrepreneur with 25 years at the intersection of technology, business transformation, and leadership. As Founder and CEO of Fintricity and Kendra Labs, Alpesh designs and builds agentic AI systems, writing the code himself before helping boards, C-suites, and teams put those systems to work responsibly and at scale. His hands-on work spans financial services, insurance, and retail, including his transformation of 700 engineers at a FTSE 250 company, where he re-skilled teams and cleared a two-year backlog through AI-first redesign. Alpesh speaks with equal fluency to CTOs and architects in deeply technical sessions, and to boards and senior leaders who need plain-language clarity on AI's practical implications. He addresses the questions senior leaders are often reluctant to raise, including runaway AI costs, governance, compliance and how to move from experimentation to measurable outcomes. Beyond the technology, Alpesh focuses on the human side of AI, addressing fear about job loss and role change, and showing leaders how to retrain and re-skill people to work differently. Audiences leave with a working mental model of AI that non-technical leaders can apply immediately, a realistic playbook for managing cultural change, and a clear framework for governing AI spend and compliance before either becomes a crisis. For boards and leadership teams that need a speaker who builds the systems he talks about and understands the human and organisational change that follows, Alpesh's insight is hard to match.

Topics, sessions and talks

Leading Through Uncertainty: The Executive's Guide To AI
Boards and senior leaders are under pressure to make confident AI decisions without always having the technical grounding to do so. Alpesh Doshi cuts through the noise for non-technical executives, offering a clear mental model of how AI actually works, how to set priorities, and how to lead with conviction when the technology is moving faster than the strategy. Audiences leave with a practical framework: not a crash course in code, but the clarity to make better decisions at the top.
The People Side Of AI: Leading Cultural Change
AI transformation stalls not because of technology, but because of people, and Alpesh Doshi speaks from experience. Drawing directly on his work re-skilling 700 engineers at a FTSE 250 company and clearing a two-year backlog, he addresses job-change anxiety and resistance head-on. Leaders learn why culture is the real barrier to adoption, what a practical re-skilling and role transformation playbook looks like, and how to bring their workforce with them rather than losing them to fear.
AI-First Business Transformation: From Strategy To Working Systems
Most AI strategies look impressive on slides and underdeliver in practice. Alpesh Doshi offers a practitioner's view of what transformation actually requires, across financial services, insurance, and retail, from redesigning operating models to delivering measurable outcomes at pace. With real case studies of organisations building 20 times faster using AI, Alpesh shows what AI-first genuinely means and what it takes to move from ambition to working systems without losing grip on risk or resilience.
Governing AI: FinOps, Cost And Compliance
Runaway AI costs, unchecked spending on cloud compute, and compliance obligations that most boards have not yet fully mapped — these are the questions senior leaders are reluctant to raise and too rarely get answered. Alpesh Doshi tackles all three directly, drawing on his active work designing and running agentic AI systems. Audiences gain a working understanding of why AI costs spiral, how a FinOps approach applies to agentic systems, and the governance and compliance foundations every organisation now needs.
The Agentic Enterprise: What's Next For AI At Work
Agentic AI — autonomous digital workers that operate across systems and processes — is moving from concept to live deployment faster than most organisations are ready for. Alpesh Doshi, who designs and builds these systems himself, explains what the shift to agentic AI means for operating models, roles, and how work gets done. Scaling from strategic overview to technical depth depending on the audience, the session gives leaders a clear picture of what to prepare for and where to act now.
