Akash Sharma

Akash Sharma is Vice President of Product Management at Enverus, where he leads the company’s Generative AI strategy, its AI Center of Excellence, and the development of AI-powered platforms and models purpose-built for the energy industry.

His work sits at the intersection of two problems most companies treat separately: building AI systems that understand how energy decisions actually get made, and making those systems trustworthy enough for the teams who make them. Before moving into AI and product leadership, Akash spent years in reservoir engineering and production analysis — experience that shapes how he thinks about building technology for an industry where bad outputs carry real operational and financial consequences.

Akash is one of the energy industry’s most active voices on the practical application of artificial intelligence across upstream, midstream, power, and renewables. He speaks regularly on AI adoption in regulated industries, vertical AI platform strategy, and the design challenges of building intelligent systems for domain experts who aren’t data scientists. He is available for media interviews, conference keynotes, and panel discussions on AI and machine learning in energy.

He holds an M.S. in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Houston and an M.S. in Computational Data Analytics from Georgia Tech. A published author with SPE and AAPG, he has presented at INFORMS, AEE, DTECH, SPE ATCE, and the Data Science Salon. He is based in Denver.
