Malt creates AI leadership role to accelerate agentic workplace strategy

Malt has appointed Anaïs Ghelfi (pictured) as its first vice president of platform and agentic systems as the freelance management platform expands its use of artificial intelligence (AI) across the business.

The company said the newly created role will focus on building the infrastructure needed to support its ambition of becoming a fully agentic enterprise, where AI systems and automated workflows are embedded across day-to-day operations.

Ghelfi will oversee the development of Malt’s platform architecture, with responsibility for ensuring company data, processes and knowledge can be accessed and utilised by both employees and AI agents.

Prior to the promotion, Ghelfi served as director of data platform and played a key role in the company’s AI transformation programme.

Claire Lebarz, chief technology officer at Malt, said: “With this new org, we’re stepping out of the paved path.

“I believe this is what the AI moment is calling for and what AI-first thinking is about.

“A company’s brain (code, data, documentation, know-how) is becoming one of its core competitive assets, and how we structure and expose it will define what we can build and how we can scale.”

Ghelfi added: “In the past two years, Malt has made enormous progress in how we deploy AI, which I am incredibly proud of.
