Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President, General Manager of Hybrid Cloud, and Chief Technology Officer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has recently discussed the shift in enterprise AI from experimentation to production. In a June 2026 interview, she stated that organizations are becoming "more thoughtful" about which use cases to pursue and are focusing on "a really tangible ROI." She described a strategy for internal AI adoption moving through four stages: "assist, action, automate and autonomous," and noted that the company is deploying AI for "building autonomous system to solve complex workflows" in areas such as chip design, coding, and supply chain. Russo also emphasized that AI does not shrink traditional infrastructure demand but expands it, stating that "agents multiply that demand." During HPE's fiscal 2026 first quarter earnings call in March 2026, Russo reported "unprecedented supply tightness at a rapidly rising component costs" and said the company had adopted "an agile pricing posture with price adjustments across the entire portfolio." She noted that HPE was "dynamically passing through memory and component cost inflation while protecting our margins." The company raised its fiscal 2026 outlook, with Q1 revenue of $9.3 billion, up 18%, and record earnings per share of 65 cents. In a June 2026 general session, Russo outlined the concept of an "agentic enterprise," where systems observe, reason, and coordinate continuously, and argued that the future involves "people and AI working together to deliver outcomes."
