Context & Chaos expert profile: **Gaurav Ramesh**, Director of Engineering / Atlan.

Gaurav Ramesh is Director of Engineering at Atlan. He writes about the organizational and human factors behind AI adoption - why capable companies stall, how incentive structures shape AI outcomes, and what it takes to build foundations for AI programs that hold up beyond the initial demo. His perspective is that most enterprise AI failures are not technical at their root; they are organizational, and leaders need to understand that shift before they can fix it.
