Emerson Appoints Rudy Sengupta as Chief Technology and AI Officer

Emerson announced on August 4 that Rudy Sengupta will become the company's Senior Vice President, Chief Technology and AI Officer on August 15, 2026.

Sengupta came to Emerson through its acquisition of NI, a test and measurement technology company, and built his profile inside Emerson's Test and Measurement segment, where he led the evolution from hardware-centric instrumentation toward software-defined test automation and data analytics workflows.

The integration of AI-driven capabilities into that segment was part of his remit, and the work is directly relevant to the broader mandate he is now taking on: making AI a native capability across Emerson's entire industrial portfolio rather than a feature within individual product lines.

"Rudy has been a key player in the strong performance of our Test and Measurement business, and we're excited to continue to benefit from his deep expertise in his new role," said Lal Karsanbhai, President and CEO of Emerson. "Rudy's leadership of our enterprise AI agenda and long-term technology direction will be instrumental in accelerating innovation across Emerson and positioning the Company for continued growth."
