Inside Workday CEO Aneel Bhusri's second act
Fortune 32
Workday CEO Aneel Bhusri returned to lead the company after stepping aside in 2024, amid pressure from AI disruption and investor scrutiny discussed at Sana’s customer conference. Workday acquired Swedish agentic AI startup Sana about 6 months earlier for more than $1 billion. The focus shifts to building and monetizing agentic AI on top of Workday’s existing HR and finance platform as growth slows and questions about strategy and valuation persist.
