AI100's eighth cohort spotlights three leaders embedding intelligence into the systems enterprises rely on — data security, healthcare, and contracts.
The latest lineup of AI100's eighth cohort features three system builders working in diverse domains: cloud-native security, healthcare technology, and enterprise software. Their common focus is not on AI for its own sake, but on the foundations that make AI useful.
David Gildea, now VP of Product for Generative AI at Druva, started his journey as a consultant who wanted to simplify complex data access, interpretation, and security.

At Druva, Gildea's team focuses on depleting security complexity through objective-driven experiences, anomaly detection in backup data, and Managed Detection and Response services.
Ankit Maheshwari, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Innovaccer, tackles the challenge of healthcare's fragmented data.

Innovaccer's platform manages over 80 million lives and partners with major health systems in the US, emphasizing clean data, reliable infrastructure, and human-centered design.
