HR Leader and Tech Industry Veteran Brings
Strong Track Record of Talent Acquisition and Culture-Building as
Zapata AI scales to meet industry demand for Industrial Generative
AI
Zapata Computing, Inc. (“Zapata AI” or the “Company”), the
Industrial Generative AI software company developing solutions and
applications to solve enterprises’ hardest problems, today
announced that Dalbir Singh has joined as Chief People Officer.
Singh brings over two decades of experience helping companies such
as Expedia, Microsoft and GE acquire the talent needed to grow
their businesses and build robust talent practices.
Dalbir will provide executive-level strategic human resource
leadership to help Zapata AI grow its industry-leading team of
scientists, engineers, and business leaders. One of his key
responsibilities will be to identify and implement long-term
strategic talent practices to help the company meet a growing
demand for generative AI solutions at global enterprises.
“We’re thrilled to have Dalbir join us at this critical and
exciting time in Zapata AI’s trajectory,” said Christopher Savoie,
CEO of Zapata AI. “We’re seeing real momentum with our generative
AI offerings and interest in our company. Dalbir’s experience with
growing and maintaining unique cultures like the one we have at
Zapata AI will play a huge role in our future success.”
Dalbir has a distinguished track record of building teams of
exceptional talent at global technology enterprises, bringing more
than 20 years of experience across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
He has deep experience in talent acquisition, talent management, HR
business partnering, and has previously worked at Expedia, GE,
Microsoft, Flipkart, CSC and HCL Technologies.
“This opportunity at Zapata AI was too good to pass up, and I
can’t wait to get to work with Christopher and the rest of the
team,” said Dalbir. “While the challenges of growing an innovative
company like Zapata AI in a competitive and early-stage space like
generative AI are real, it still comes down to the people you have
— and the people you bring on to complement them as the company
grows. The culture here is special, and my experience of building
HR practices at companies large and small will help me make it a
place where current employees — and future employees — are
enthusiastic to work.”
Singh will report directly to Zapata AI CEO Christopher
Savoie.
