Accrete, one of the cognitive infrastructure companies building Knowledge Engines for autonomous work, recently announced that Andy Hock, PhD, who serves as Chief Strategy Officer at Cerebras Systems, has joined Accrete’s Advisory Board to support the company’s continued product and commercial growth.
For more than a decade, AI has flourished on data, models, and compute–the raw ingredients of intelligence. As those ingredients become more abundant, another constraint emerges: the structure, context, and history of an organization’s knowledge. Legacy data organization is suitable, but not optimized for AI.
In the emergent era of agent-based AI, autonomous systems can reason, but they don’t inherit an organization’s hard-won experience, or keep it current, secure, and evolving. Encoding organizational knowledge to enable optimized agent workflows with judgement is exactly the problem that Accrete has solved since 2017.
Few people understand the frontier possibilities and constraints of AI scale better than Hock. At Cerebras, he leads product strategy behind the company’s revolutionary wafer-scale supercomputers that are breaking the speed limits of AI inference and training. Before joining Cerebras in 2017, he built AI data platforms at Google following its acquisition of Skybox Imaging, where he served as Senior Director of Advanced Technologies. He holds a PhD from UCLA.
According to Hock, “AI has moved from an emerging technology to a business imperative. As frontier compute and models become more accessible, enterprises need better ways to organize and operationalize institutional knowledge for agentic workflows, knowledge retention, learning, and AI-enabled decision-making. I’ve been impressed by what the Accrete team has quietly solved in the most demanding environments, and I’m excited to help the team deepen these capabilities for enterprise customers.“
“Andy helped build one of the industry’s leading AI infrastructure companies and brings deep experience in scaling advanced technologies from innovation to enterprise adoption,” said Prashant Bhuyan, Founder, CEO & Chairman of Accrete. “He gets what we’ve proven where the stakes are highest, in government, critical infrastructure, and highly regulated industries: expert judgement is what makes autonomous systems trustworthy, cost-efficient, and secure inside the customer’s trust boundary.”
As an advisor, Hock will counsel Accrete on product strategy, scalable autonomous systems, and go-to-market strategy required to move enterprises from copilots that assist people to autopilots that deliver the finished work.
