Mark Douthwaite is a product leader who builds agentic AI solutions for retail and manufacturing, currently directing Supply Chain & Retail AI at UiPath after leading Peak through Series C and acquisition. He combines a PhD in Computer Science on autonomous systems with a decade of hands‑on software and ML engineering, moving from data scientist to Head of Product and now Director of Product Management. Mark has shipped recommendation engines, predictive pricing and optimization, and Peak’s Co:Driver generative AI product, and he led commercial pricing and agentic platform work that became central to UiPath’s acquisition thesis. He is experienced at scaling cross‑functional teams and platform capabilities—owning developer experience, ML infrastructure and Autopilot features for predictive solutions. Based in Manchester, he frequently speaks and writes about making AI products that work in the real world and blends rigorous probabilistic modelling background with practical GTM and integration experience. An uncommon strength is his track record of translating R&D and university collaborations into production systems that materially improved operational efficiency for high‑traffic retail and manufacturing customers.
