Stardog has announced the promotion of Navin Sharma to Chief Product Officer (CPO), a move that underscores the company’s focus on providing the "cognitive backbone" for agentic AI. As enterprises shift toward autonomous agents that require deep contextual understanding to make mission-critical decisions, Stardog is positioning its semantic layer as the essential infrastructure between fragmented data and reliable AI execution.
Navin Sharma is promoted to CPO to lead global product strategy and execution.
Stardog is defining a new category: Semantic AI Infrastructure for the Agentic Enterprise.
The platform connects enterprise data where it lives, adding a semantic layer that allows AI to reason with transparency and trust.
Agentic AI focus: The technology is purpose-built for autonomous systems that analyze data and orchestrate workflows without constant human intervention.
Stardog is trusted by high-stakes organizations, including NASA, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Raytheon.
Built on W3C open standards, the platform prioritizes governance, explainability, and data virtualization (no need to copy/move data).
The primary barrier to scaling agentic AI today is the "hallucination" and lack of context inherent in general-purpose models. Stardog’s semantic AI platform addresses this by creating a unified knowledge graph that models the meaning of enterprise data. This ensures that AI agents are grounded in "trusted, contextual data," enabling them to operate reliably in complex environments like manufacturing supply chains and life sciences R&D.
"We are building the cognitive backbone for the future of work powered by autonomous agents," said Navin Sharma. "Stardog provides the semantic control plane where humans and agents collaborate as knowledge engineers to capture, share, and scale meaning."
The promotion reflects Stardog's momentum in a year where AI investment has shifted from experimental pilots to production-grade agents. CEO Craig Harper highlighted Sharma's instrumental role in building the platform customers rely on, while CTO and Co-Founder Evren Sirin noted Sharma’s rare combination of technical depth and disciplined product execution.
