Hannah Bloking

Global Head of Applied AI Acceleration Solutions Architecture

Greater Seattle Area

About

I lead at the intersection of AI, product, and go-to-market, focused on turning emerging capabilities into scaled customer impact. My work centers on building and operating the mechanisms that drive AI adoption at scale across complex organizations. This includes aligning product, field, and customer success teams, defining clear paths from “idea” to business outcome, and ensuring execution holds across functions. I currently lead initiatives that combine traditional GTM levers such as field enablement, customer success, and solution architecture with newer agentic approaches that scale expert guidance and accelerate decision making for customers in real time. I operate across three layers • Defining how AI capabilities translate into repeatable customer value • Building mechanisms that scale expertise across field and customer teams • Driving cross-functional alignment across product, engineering, and GTM organizations I’ve led large-scale launches and adoption programs with significant organizational complexity, including enterprise rollouts with six-figure user targets and aligned with company-wide goals. My focus is consistently on de-risking execution, clarifying ownership, and building durable mechanisms that sustain growth. I’m most effective in roles where success depends on connecting product, GTM, and organizational design to drive adoption at scale.
