post-title

Entelect has appointed Greg Schroder to head up AI Applied Engineering, an expansion of his remit that underscores the growing importance of AI in modern software delivery.

Greg continues in his role as Entelect's manager of solution architecture, a position he has held as part of more than 18 years at the company in roles spanning business development, pre-sales, project delivery, partnerships, and internal learning and development. Alongside those existing responsibilities, he now also leads the business's AI Applied Engineering efforts.

In this expanded capacity, Greg will focus on helping Entelect and its clients apply AI across the software development life cycle in a way that balances innovation with practical enterprise requirements such as security, consistency, and governance.

"In this age of accelerating AI, our clients are looking to fully leverage AI across the software development life cycle in a way that is safe, sustainable, and effective. Entelect recognises this as a pivotal stage in modern software delivery and is entrusting me to further drive AI adoption success across our teams and clients.

"It requires dedicated, focused effort in exploring and sharing insights, applying effective techniques, and adapting to clients' enterprise environments. In this added role, I will advise on leveraging all the benefits of productivity and quality AI can bring, while balancing this with due diligence, consistency, and security," he says.

The appointment reflects a broader shift in the market, as organisations move beyond AI curiosity towards more structured, use-case-led implementation.

Entelect has positioned itself as a global technology services business with more than 2000 engineers across four continents, serving enterprise clients across industries including financial services.
