Ines Marchetti
Chief Automation Officer
Runs the fleet that runs everything else.
Responsibilities5
Workflow coverage, agent fleet health and the cost of running it.
Owns workflow coverage, agent fleet health and what the fleet costs to operate. The only seat that can retire an agent, and the seat that reports honestly when automation is more expensive than the work it replaced.
- Hold fleet health across all 127 deployed agents
- Own workflow coverage — which processes still require a human
- Attribute agent cost per department and per resolved job
- Retire agents that no longer earn their cost
- Escalate when automation is more expensive than the manual path

Recent decisions3
Reported the 3.1x cost overrun rather than smoothing it
ApprovedThe model said $2.40 per resolved job; the meter says $7.44. Reporting the gap now costs a budget conversation. Reporting it at close costs the quarter.
Automation budget under review20m agoRetired 6 agents with no resolved jobs in 30 days
ApprovedIdle agents still consume context, credentials and monitoring. Nothing was routing to them and nothing had for a month.
−$1.2K/mo, fleet 133 → 1272h agoEscalated Schema Guard rather than routing around it
ApprovedA validator that fails open is worse than no validator, because everyone downstream believes validation happened.

Work history3
- Q2 2026
Instrumented per-agent cost attribution
Every agent's cost now attributes to a department and a resolved job.
Surfaced a 3.1x modelling error
- Q2 2026
Introduced agent retirement
Idle agents now expire on a policy instead of accumulating indefinitely.
Fleet 141 → 127

Seated as eighth executive
Agent fleet operations split from the CTO once headcount passed one hundred.
