UiPath promoted Hitesh Ramani to Chief Financial Officer on September 3, 2026, elevating him from his role as Chief Accounting Officer and Deputy CFO as the automation software leader strengthens its financial leadership ahead of significant growth opportunities in business orchestration and AI.
Ramani, who joined UiPath in 2021 and expanded to Deputy CFO in 2024, brings over 25 years of accounting and finance leadership experience, including two decades at Deloitte serving large SEC registrants and private equity portfolio companies. His promotion came as the company announced broader executive changes designed to sharpen operational focus and execution across the organization.
Brad Brubaker, who has served as Chief Legal Officer since 2019, was named Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, expanding his oversight to include the People organization. Chief People Officer Agi Garaba will continue leading HR and talent functions under Brubaker’s expanded purview. Brubaker brings more than 25 years of legal experience, including leadership roles at SAP where he managed over 300 legal professionals across 20 countries.
Chief Operating Officer Ashim Gupta will retain his role while focusing exclusively on day-to-day operations, go-to-market execution, and strategic priorities. Gupta, who joined UiPath in 2018 and served as CFO before assuming the COO title in 2024, spent nearly two decades at General Electric in senior finance leadership roles, including as CFO of GE Water.
UiPath also appointed Yazdi Bagli to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Bagli is Executive Vice President of IT and Enterprise Business Services at Kaiser Permanente and is currently on leave pursuing a fellowship at Harvard University. He previously led enterprise IT and shared services at Walmart and spent over 20 years at Procter & Gamble in global IT and business transformation roles.
Daniel Dines, UiPath founder and CEO, said the changes reflect the company’s focus on execution as a growth driver and the strength of its leadership bench. “Ashim, Hitesh, and Brad have each played critical roles in building UiPath into the company it is today, and I’m excited for their continued leadership as we execute against the significant opportunity ahead of us in business orchestration and automation,” Dines said in a statement.
The executive reorganization arrived alongside UiPath’s second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings report, where the company delivered revenue of $410 million, up 13 percent year-over-year for the period ended July 31, 2026. Annualized Renewal Run-rate (ARR) reached $1.938 billion, an increase of 12 percent year-over-year, with a dollar-based net retention rate of 109 percent. The company generated non-GAAP operating income of $89 million and reported $31 million in net cash flow from operations.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2027, UiPath guided to revenue of $440 million to $445 million and non-GAAP operating income of approximately $100 million. For the full fiscal year 2027, the company projects revenue of $1.789 billion to $1.794 billion and non-GAAP operating income of about $445 million.
The leadership changes reflect a broader trend in the technology sector where companies are restructuring executive teams to balance growth with operational discipline. Earlier in 2026, CFO appointments in the technology sector accounted for 8 percent of all new chief appointments, down from 10 percent in the first half of 2025, according to CFO Dive research. Companies have increasingly sought battle-tested finance leaders with deep operational experience to navigate macroeconomic uncertainty and accelerate execution.
