Speaking and media kit
Talks for leaders who have to make AI work, not just talk about it.
Keynotes, panels and workshops on enterprise AI strategy, governance, agentic platforms and engineering for regulated industries. Everything an organiser or editor needs is on this page.
Topics
Five talks, each built on evidence.
- 01
AI’s real novelty is speed
For companies that are not in the AI business, AI rarely does anything new. It does what they already knew how to do, at a cost and pace that change which work is worth doing. A practical way to build an AI strategy from the work you ration today.
- 02
Governance by design: what safety engineering teaches enterprise AI
Two decades of ISO 26262 and ASPICE, applied to AI: evidence produced while you build, traceability from question to decision, and accountability that does not slow teams down. With the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001 as design inputs.
- 03
Agents in the enterprise: gateway, runtime, MCP and A2A
What it takes to run hundreds of agents across a company: one gateway, evaluation in every release, isolation enforced by the kernel, MCP to reach enterprise systems and A2A between vendors. With numbers from real experiments.
- 04
MBSE for AI, not AI for MBSE
Why bolting an assistant onto modelling tools built for human authors is the wrong question, and what model-based systems engineering looks like when AI is a primary author. From the book of the same name.
- 05
From pilots to production: lighthouse projects that scale
How to pick a small set of lighthouse projects that prove patterns, not demos, and how the seven pillars of adoption and governance turn those patterns into a company-wide capability.
Balaji Boominathan is Director of AI and Emerging Technologies at BorgWarner, where he leads AI from Enterprise IT, supporting functions such as engineering, manufacturing and corporate teams. He spent two decades building safety-critical automotive systems at Continental and Luminar, and authored the architecture language behind ASIL-D software in more than 10 million vehicles.
Balaji Boominathan is Director of AI and Emerging Technologies at BorgWarner, a global automotive technology manufacturer. He leads AI from Enterprise IT, supporting functions such as engineering, manufacturing, SG&A, finance and quality: helping create the company's Framework for AI Adoption and Governance, building the enterprise AI platform beneath it, and moving the organisation toward governed, multi-agent AI. Before that he ran BorgWarner's global engineering application estate, from requirements to CAD, CAE and test, where he applied AI to licence optimisation and built an enterprise MCP layer for engineering tools. He spent two decades in safety-critical automotive engineering at Continental and Luminar, and authored the architecture language behind ASIL-D braking and automated-driving software in more than 10 million vehicles. He is the creator of Sylang, an AI-native engineering platform, and author of the book Sylang: MBSE for AI. He writes weekly at bbalaji.com and is based in Michigan.
