# Elena Lucarelli
Principal AI DevX Lead at SAP Signavio, making agentic coding tools safe and predictable.

## About

Elena Lucarelli leads AI developer experience at SAP Signavio. She founded the AI.ccelerate program to help engineering teams integrate agentic coding tools into their daily workflows without breaking their codebases.

Before focusing on developer tools, she spent over a decade managing engineering initiatives and drove the creation of SAP's AI ethics policy. Her work explores the tension between AI capabilities and classic software practices. She regularly speaks about why AI assistants struggle with refactoring and how to build predictable workflows around them.
