Jayashankar Rudrachar

Head of Observability Engineering TIAA

CONFERENCE DAY ONE

9:00 AM Opening Panel - Executive Observability Strategy: Decisions, Trade offs, and Direction

This exclusive panel brings together senior technology leaders to discuss how observability fits into modern engineering strategy. Moving beyond tools and dashboards, the conversation focuses on executive level decision making: ownership, investment priorities, and how observability supports reliability, platform strategy, and business risk management at scale.

• How C suite leaders define and own observability strategy, including governance, accountability, and success metrics

• How to set investment direction at scale, navigating tool consolidation, platform alignment, and cost

• How observability supports executive priorities, like incident risk and resilience

10:00 AM Presentation: SRE as an Operating Model: Embedding Reliability Across the Business with AI

SRE is often introduced as a standalone team, yet reliability gains stall when it isn't embedded into everyday operations. In this session, Jay Rudrachaar explores how organisations can build SRE into the fabric of their business. Drawing on his work in global operations and AI driven observability at TIAA, Jay shows how the right operating model, shared ownership, and AI assisted tooling can shift teams from reactive incident response to prediction and prevention.

• Exploring why SRE works best as an operating model, embedded across teams rather than owned by a single function

• Enabling AI and SRE agents from strong observability foundations, improving incident triage, ownership, and prevention

• Reducing operational burden using AI, moving from faster root cause analysis to automated remediation and governance aware decisioning
