Art Sanderson

I help global enterprises reinvent software engineering for the AI era. As Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at Mastercard, I lead a global organization of 290+ engineers, architects, analysts, and technology leaders responsible for AI-enabled consumer platforms, data products, and mission-critical services used by millions of consumers worldwide. I believe AI's greatest impact isn't writing code—it's transforming the entire Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC). My passion is helping engineering organizations move beyond coding assistants to redesign how products are conceived, planned, architected, built, tested, deployed, and operated. Today my focus includes: • AI-powered Product Development Lifecycle transformation • Agentic AI and AI-native engineering operating models • Engineering productivity and developer experience • Enterprise AI governance and responsible adoption • Platform modernization and cloud-native architecture Throughout my career, I've helped organizations navigate major technology shifts—from cloud and DevOps to platform engineering, SaaS products, and now enterprise AI. I partner closely with executive leaders to align technology strategy, operating models, and organizational design with measurable business outcomes. I believe the future belongs to engineering organizations where AI enhances every phase of software delivery while strengthening security, quality, governance, and customer value. My passion is building the leaders, operating models, and platforms that make that future possible.
