Job Summary
As a senior member of HP’s Technology & Innovation Organization (TIO) Strategy team, you will independently lead the development and articulation of enterprise‑level strategy that shapes HP’s future technology bets. This role sits at the intersection of AI, software, systems, and business strategy, responsible for sharpening HP’s long‑term aspiration, informing where‑to‑play and how‑to‑win choices, and defining new growth opportunities across emerging technologies and strategic whitespace. You will bring a uniquely blended background: hands‑on experience working with AI, ML, or edge technology combined with strong strategic problem framing, business planning, and executive‑ready communication. You will connect the end‑to‑end chain from customer pain points to use cases to business model to technology stack, to shape HP’s next‑generation roadmap and create clear, actionable business plans. This is a high‑impact, high‑visibility role delivering insights and recommendations directly to HP’s executive leadership and Board.
Key Responsibilities Strategic Insight & Opportunity Identification
Lead structured outside‑in analysis across emerging domains including GenAI, edge AI inferencing, multimodal capabilities, vertical‑specific AI workflows, device‑centric software, and future compute platforms
Identify, validate, and size new opportunity areas by triangulating customer needs, industry trends, competitive moves, and HP’s differentiated assets
Conduct segmentation, TAM/SAM modeling, business model evaluation, and scenario planning for next‑horizon bets
Business Planning & Strategic Choice‑Making
Independently build robust, data‑driven business plans—including financial models, adoption forecasts, value chain analysis, pricing/monetization frameworks, and go‑to‑market implications
Develop investment theses and strategic recommendations (build/partner/invest/acquire) including assessment of ecosystem dynamics and potential partners
Translate customer jobs‑to‑be‑done and pain points into technology requirements that shape TIO’s architecture and product roadmap
Technology & Ecosystem Integration
Engage deeply with technical leaders to understand HP’s capabilities across AI/ML, compute systems, runtime optimization, model compression, device software, cloud/edge hybrid architectures, and vertical workflows
Build credible, technically informed perspectives on how emerging technologies unlock new business opportunities
Maintain active engagement with startups, VCs, research labs, hyperscalers, and ecosystem partners to inform strategy and accelerate innovation
Executive Communication & Influence
Develop crisp, compelling narratives for ELT and Board audiences—including framing, storyline, visualizations, and strategic implications
Synthesize complex technical and market signals into clear, actionable choices for HP
Influence cross‑functional leaders across TIO, Business Units, and Corporate Strategy to drive alignment and execution
What Success Looks Like
Independently build business cases and recommendations that directly shape HP’s technology roadmap and investment decisions
Can "talk the talk" with senior technologists while also framing complex choices for non‑technical executives
Deliver clear, strategic narratives that are used in Board and ELT discussions
Serve as a bridge between customer needs, HP’s technology stack, and commercial strategy
Elevate the quality and pace of HP’s strategic decision‑making in AI, software, and innovation

Fluency in emerging AI and software landscapes, including open‑source ecosystems
Communication & Influence
Exceptional storytelling, narrative development, and visual communication for senior audiences
Ability to synthesize signals and shape recommendations for executives and the Board
Strong cross‑functional leadership and stakeholder alignment skills
Education & Experience
15+ years in technology strategy, product strategy, corporate development, venture/startup ecosystem, or deep‑tech consulting
Hands‑on experience working in AI/ML, edge compute, or software at a top‑tier tech company or cutting‑edge startup (e.g., model development, applied ML, systems engineering, developer tools, distributed systems, or advanced compute)
Demonstrated success developing business plans, investment theses, and market strategies in emerging technology domains
Experience preparing and delivering executive‑level presentations and strategic narratives
Ability to navigate ambiguity, influence senior leaders, and drive time‑sensitive cross‑company initiatives
