Commerce has appointed Sri Subramanian as its new Head of Data and AI, strengthening its leadership around data strategy, artificial intelligence, analytics and cloud transformation.
Subramanian announced the appointment on LinkedIn, saying he has joined the company to lead its Data and AI function. In the new role, his focus will include building data strategies and applying AI and analytics to generate measurable business outcomes.
The appointment places Subramanian in charge of an increasingly important technology function as businesses look to move AI projects beyond experimentation and connect them more closely with operational and commercial priorities.
His mandate at Commerce will centre on strengthening the company's data and AI capabilities while turning information into actionable insights. This is expected to include data strategy, AI adoption, analytics and developing capabilities that enable the business to extract greater value from its data assets.
Before joining Commerce, Subramanian worked at Snowflake, where he gained exposure to developments in agentic AI and enterprise data platforms. He described his experience at the company as impactful and highlighted the opportunity to work with teams developing emerging AI capabilities.
His move also creates a different relationship with his former company. Subramanian said he would continue to be associated with the Snowflake ecosystem as a customer through his position at Commerce.
Subramanian's professional focus spans data platform strategy, artificial intelligence, analytics and cloud transformation. His work has centred on connecting emerging technologies with practical business requirements and using data capabilities to create measurable value.
The appointment comes as enterprises increasingly evaluate how generative and agentic AI can be integrated into existing data environments. The shift has placed greater emphasis on underlying data infrastructure, governance and analytics as organisations seek to deploy AI in production rather than restrict its use to individual experiments.
At Commerce, Subramanian is expected to work with leadership and technology teams to advance the company's broader data and AI agenda. His role will involve connecting technical capabilities with business requirements and supporting data-led decision-making across the organisation.
The appointment marks Subramanian's transition from a technology-provider environment at Snowflake to an enterprise leadership position where data and AI will form part of his direct business mandate.
Commerce has not disclosed specific AI projects, investment plans or deployment timelines associated with his appointment.
