What To Quote

Pre-approved. Use verbatim. Attribution included.

"Pilots install AI. Production absorbs it into their operating model. The OnStak AI Portfolio underpins that change."

Master positioning · use as press body line or social copy

"Most enterprises don't have an AI model problem — they have an AI operating model problem."

Fabio Gori, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, OnStak

"AI is about outcomes. Integrated is the only architecture that supports them. OnStak delivers outcomes — one team, one roadmap, one number to call."

Fabio Gori, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, OnStak

"80% of AI projects fail to deliver intended business value — the gap is between pilots that work and the operating model the organization has to build around AI for production to absorb the work."

Backing source: RAND Corporation · 2025 analysis of 2,400+ enterprise AI initiatives.

"We didn't design Correlation Fabric in a lab. We built it because our own modernization teams needed it to ship real work without re-platforming the environment twice. If it can carry our own delivery practice, it can carry yours."

Ben Haddox, Field CTO – Digital Resilience & AI, OnStak

"Stop obsessing over the model. Start obsessing over the system around it."

Awais Janjua, Chief Technology Officer, OnStak

 Fabio Gori

Fabio Gori

The Spokespeople

Fabio Gori is Chief Product and Marketing Officer at OnStak, where he leads the product direction and market positioning for the AI Portfolio. He joined OnStak in April 2026 after 26 years at Cisco, most recently as Vice President of Engineering Alliances in Cisco’s AI Infrastructure Engineering Team, following senior leadership roles at the Cisco Transformation Center and in Product & Solutions Marketing. His Cisco career spanned Europe and the United States and gave him a vantage point on technology adoption from both sides of the market — the service providers who build and deliver IT, and the enterprises that put it to work. He relocated his family from Europe to the US for the OnStak role. Gori joined OnStak to address what he calls a structural — not technical — gap in enterprise AI: “Pilots install AI. Production absorbs AI into their operating model.” That conviction anchors the AI Portfolio launch.

 

“Fabio Gori is Chief Product and Marketing Officer at OnStak, joined April 2026 after 26 years at Cisco — most recently VP of Engineering Alliances in Cisco’s AI Infrastructure Engineering Team.”

Awais Janjua

Awais Janjua

Chief Technology Officer

Awais Janjua is Chief Technology Officer at OnStak, where he leads the architectural direction of OnStak’s AI Portfolio. From January 2018 to December 2019, Janjua was CTO and Co-Founder of Concillium. His prior career spans more than two decades in telecommunications and enterprise systems, with leadership roles at Digicel, Warid, SAS, and Sitronics — work that built deep expertise in scaling production-grade infrastructure across geographies. At OnStak, he owns the platform reference model and the system-level engineering accountability. His macro technical lens spans production AI architecture, AI agent memory, and multi-agent orchestration — translating architectural decisions into language boards can act on. He is an active commentator on enterprise AI on LinkedIn.

 

“Awais Janjua is Chief Technology Officer at OnStak, leading the architectural direction of the AI Portfolio. He brings two decades of production-grade infrastructure experience across telecoms and enterprise systems.”

Ben Haddox

Ben Haddox

Field CTO - Digital Resilience & AI

Ben Haddox is Field CTO at OnStak. He’s the engineer who built OnStak’s AI Correlation Fabric — the streaming primitive that pre-correlates fragmented enterprise data before AI touches it. His career has tracked enterprise infrastructure from the inside: Stryker, IBM Tivoli (infrastructure monitoring), AppDynamics (where he served as Chief Global Architect and Global FSO Architect), and Cisco — where he led Cisco APM and the AIOps practice across services and sales following the AppDynamics acquisition. Inside Cisco, Haddox pushed the early thinking that exposed what existing observability stacks couldn’t do: solve correlated, multi-persona problems across silos. That work became the engineering origin of OnStak’s AI Correlation Fabric. He talks the engine at the implementation level: “data-correlation-first, LLM-on-top.

 

“Ben Haddox is Field CTO at OnStak, where he built the correlation engine behind the AI Portfolio and leads engineering on the eight patents pending around the platform.”
