Automation Anywhere, a recognized leader in Agentic Process Automation (APA), today announced the addition of Jeff Immelt to its Board of Directors.

Immelt brings a wealth of experience as a transformational leader in global business, with a deep understanding of AI’s transformative impact and extensive experience guiding industries through digital transformations.

"From my experience leading GE, I’ve seen firsthand how businesses must adapt to drive efficiency and innovation. Automation Anywhere’s platform is helping enterprises in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and beyond harness AI to solve complex challenges. I look forward to working with the team to expand its impact and help customers navigate this transformation."
