Autonomize AI Expands Leadership Team with Strategic Hires to Drive Growth

Seasoned growth and technology leaders join Autonomize to accelerate accountable AI adoption across healthcare and life sciences

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Autonomize AI, the pioneer in Agentic AI orchestration for healthcare and life sciences, today announced the appointment of two seasoned executives to its leadership team: Scott Brennan as Head of Growth and Ujjwal Rajbhandari as Head of Solutions. Together, they bring deep expertise in AI infrastructure, cloud strategy, healthcare transformation, and business development to advance Autonomize AI’s mission of rewiring healthcare operations with accountable, human-centered AI, positioning the company to help healthcare organizations adopt accountable AI at scale.

“Healthcare is at an inflection point,” said Ganesh Padmanabhan, CEO and Co-Founder of Autonomize AI. “With regulatory pressures increasing and agentic AI advancing at an unprecedented pace, the need for trusted and scalable enterprise solutions has never been greater. Adding Scott and Ujjwal to our leadership team positions Autonomize AI to meet this moment and deliver transformative value to our partners.”

Scott Brennan joins Autonomize AI as Head of Growth, bringing more than 15 years of experience driving go-to-market strategies across healthcare and technology. He most recently served as SVP of Business Development at TurningPoint Healthcare Solutions, enabling health plans to implement value-based risk arrangements across musculoskeletal and cardiovascular care. Earlier in his career, Brennan helped lead an early-stage healthcare startup to a successful acquisition by a 5-star health plan after achieving 10x EBITDA growth.

“Scott’s unique background at the intersection of healthcare delivery, payer operations, and technology makes him an incredible asset to Autonomize,” Padmanabhan said. “He understands the pain points across the healthcare ecosystem and has a proven ability to translate agentic AI innovation into scalable, measurable outcomes for payers, providers, and patients.”

Ujjwal Rajbhandari joins as Head of Solutions, bringing deep expertise in AI infrastructure and cloud strategy. A former Google and Dell leader, he co-founded and served as CTO of a startup focused on democratizing access to AI computing power, where he launched a hybrid cloud GPU-as-a-Service platform. At Dell, he spearheaded global hybrid cloud transformation initiatives and played a central role in scaling through mergers and acquisitions.

“Ujjwal combines technical depth with go-to-market execution,” added Padmanabhan. “His ability to anticipate industry shifts and build scalable platforms will accelerate how we bring AI Agents into the enterprise healthcare stack.”

The appointments follow Autonomize AI’s recent $28 million Series A funding round, led by Valtruis, The Cigna Group Ventures, and Tau Ventures. The company is rapidly scaling its platform, which enables healthcare organizations to deploy pre-trained AI Agents that streamline high-value workflows such as care management, utilization management, and benefits checks.
