Agus to lead AI safety, model risk management
and alignment for regulated industries like banking, financial
services, insurance and governments globally
H2O.ai, the leading open source Generative AI and machine
learning platform, today announced the appointment of Agus
Sudjianto as Senior Vice President, Risk and Technology for
Enterprise. Agus brings over two decades of experience in the
financial services industry, where he has held leadership positions
at Wells Fargo and Bank of America in risk management, analytics,
and modeling.
Agus is renowned for pioneering the first of its kind PiML
(Python Interpretable Machine Learning) as a set of methods and
tools in Python aimed at making machine learning models
interpretable and understandable to humans. He championed the
adoption of PiML at Wells Fargo and subsequently released it under
Apache 2.0 to democratize models for ensuring reliability,
resilience, and fairness in high-risk applications across banks and
financial institutions. Agus’ PiML is now widely adopted across
many industries and has become the industry standard for developing
interpretable machine learning models that provide transparency and
improve trust.
"Agus is a global treasure and a leader in building trust and
regulating models in banking, finance, insurance and regulated
industries. Agus has been inspiring the H2O.ai community and
customers with his genius and knack for interpreting deep concepts
for any audience. Super excited to have Agus join my leadership
team to bring the rigor of MRM to GenAI with innovative products
and to make AI trustworthy for our customers and accelerate our
mission to democratize AI in the service of life and the planet." -

"I am thrilled to join H2O.ai, a company deeply committed to
making AI safe, reliable, and accessible to all. I look forward to
leveraging my experience in risk management and PiML to develop H2O
Eval products, expand Responsible AI initiatives, and foster a
community dedicated to building trust in Generative AI
applications, particularly in banking and model risk management,"
said Agus Sudjianto, Senior Vice President, Risk and Technology for
Enterprise at H2O.ai.
Agus holds a PhD in Engineering from Wayne State University and
a Master’s degree from MIT. At H2O.ai, he will develop H2O Eval
products to address AI safety, reliability and compliance, focusing
on Generative AI applications in banking and model risk management.
