A seasoned leader with a wealth of enterprise technology experience, Pettit has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth over the last six years.

In this role, Pettit will be responsible for overseeing region specific transformation projects, accelerating operational growth and strengthening customer engagement in both the UK and Ireland. His appointment comes at a pivotal time as UiPath enters its next evolutionary chapter focused on advancing agentic automation and shaping the future of intelligent enterprise automation.

With the UK&I striving to be globally positioned as an AI superpower, effective and seamless AI integration within business operations will be crucial for creating successful use cases, and UiPath is positioned to enable this across enterprise.”

Mark Gibbs, President - International at UiPath added, “With agentic automation at the forefront of innovation, there is no one better to drive UK&I success for UiPath and deliver results for our customers than Simon. His deep understanding of the market and commitment to innovation make him the ideal candidate for this strategic role and I have no doubt he will successfully guide our next phase of growth and momentum in region.”
