Humans of UiPath: Inside the life of a Vice President Corporate Technology, IT

Meet Lior Eldad, Vice President Corporate Technology, IT, at UiPath. Over six years ago, Lior joined UiPath to help bring its mission to life, not by building the product itself, but by strengthening the systems and processes behind it. Today, Lior leads a global Corporate Technology function that plays a critical role in keeping the UiPath internal engine running efficiently. In this blog, he shares his UiPath journey, his most rewarding milestones, and what excites him about the future of agentic automation from the inside out.

Can you tell us more about yourself?

"I joined UiPath over six years ago, during a time of incredible growth and momentum. What drew me in was the company’s bold mission, to accelerate human achievement through automation, and the opportunity to help bring that vision to life internally. I’ve always been passionate about using technology to simplify how organizations operate and to create better experiences for the people behind them."

"I wasn’t here to build the product. I was here to build the systems, processes, and internal ecosystem that would support our people, scale operations, and help the company grow from the inside out. My focus was on the corporate side: IT, HR, Finance, Procurement, and the technology and automation needed to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently. That work became even more critical as we approached and successfully navigated our initial public offering (IPO) in April 2021, a major milestone that required stability, transparency, and strong internal systems to support our rapid growth and evolving responsibilities as a public company."

"What sealed the decision for me was the people. Everyone I met brought a sense of urgency, humility, and purpose. It was clear this was a place where you could make an impact quickly. Joining UiPath wasn’t just about a new role. It was about contributing to a mission-driven company and helping build the foundation for long-term, sustainable growth through innovation and operational excellence."

What do you enjoy most about working here?

"It’s the ability to work on meaningful, cross-functional challenges with an incredible team. What makes it even more exciting is that UiPath is a customer-zero company. We use our own technology to drive business outcomes, improve user experience, and allow teams to focus on what matters most. That alignment between product and internal operations is a powerful differentiator."

How has your role evolved since joining?

"I joined UiPath as the Head of IT, initially focused on traditional IT services and infrastructure. Over the years, my role expanded significantly, shifting from core IT operations to leading broader transformation initiatives across HR, Finance, and enterprise systems. Today, I oversee a global Corporate Technology function that drives process optimization, automation, and scalable technology solutions across the business. It’s been a journey from foundational support to strategic enablement."

What’s been the most rewarding part of your journey at UiPath?

"One of the most rewarding milestones in my UiPath journey was being part of the leadership team that drove the SAP S/4HANA implementation, an ambitious, global transformation that achieved a 93% clean core. More than just a system deployment, it was a true customer-zero initiative where we used our own UiPath technology to automate processes, streamline operations, and drive efficiency."

"What made it especially meaningful was the chance to collaborate with brilliant colleagues across Finance, Procurement, HR, IT, and beyond. It was a collective effort that required alignment, shared ownership, and a clear vision. And none of it would have been possible without my amazing team, their dedication, expertise, and commitment were absolutely essential to making it a success. It was a proud moment that showcased not just our platform, but what we can achieve when great people come together with purpose."

Tell us a bit about your team—what makes it special or different?

"What makes our team truly special is the people. We’re a diverse group of professionals who bring different strengths to the table but share a common goal: enabling the growth of UiPath through technology. It’s not just about what we build, but how we partner, with each other and the business. The strong sense of collaboration, trust, and shared ownership makes this team a great place to grow and make an impact."

What is your favorite benefit or perk at UiPath?

" Definitely flexibility and trust. Whether it’s the ability to work remotely, shape how we operate, or take full advantage of our own automation tools, UiPath empowers its people in meaningful, tangible ways. What I also value deeply is the company's culture, built on transparency, speed, and a strong bias for action. There’s a clear respect for individual contributions, and our ways of working reflect that: empowered teams, minimal bureaucracy, and a focus on outcomes.”

“As someone who is very active, having completed a few marathons, triathlons, and some unforgettable road and mountain bike rides, I truly appreciate the flexibility that allows me to step away during stressful days for a run or a ride. Being able to stretch both body and mind keeps me balanced, focused, and energized for everything ahead. “

What excites you about the future of your team at UiPath?

"I’m excited about the growing convergence of automation and AI, and how we can continue to lead by example. As we scale, our team is in a great position to show what’s possible when technology, strategy, and people are aligned."

"With UiPath entering Act II, the focus is shifting toward a world of agentic AI, where software agents can reason, decide, and act with autonomy. Tools like UiPath Maestro ™ will orchestrate these AI agents alongside people, applications, and systems, enabling a new era of productivity. What excites me most is that we’re not just enabling that transformation for our customers—we’re applying it internally to push the boundaries of what enterprise technology can do."

"The future is intelligent automation, and we’re living it from the inside-out."
