Erwan Gallen

Senior Principal Product Manager, Generative AI

Artificial intelligence infrastructure and inference

Current role

I lead Product Management for Red Hat AI Inference and hardware-accelerator enablement across the Red Hat AI portfolio.

My work covers roadmap and lifecycle management for GPUs and emerging silicon. I collaborate with engineering teams, open source communities, technology partners, and enterprise customers. Together, we bring the latest generative AI models to enterprise inference platforms. We focus on fast, cost-effective inference at scale through efficient accelerator use and Kubernetes-native distributed serving across the hybrid cloud.

Areas of focus

AI inference
Product management for Red Hat AI Inference, focused on fast, consistent, and cost-effective inference across the hybrid cloud.
Hardware accelerators
Enablement and lifecycle strategy for GPUs and emerging AI silicon.
Hybrid cloud
Consistent AI workloads across the Red Hat AI portfolio.
