GAP names Dwayne Stoltz VP of AI to lead global AI go-to-market, unifying consulting and engineering to help clients modernize software and scale AI.

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP), a leading AI transformation company, today announced the appointment of Dwayne Stoltz as Vice President of AI. Stoltz will lead GAP’s global AI go-to-market strategy, unifying its strategic consulting and hands-on engineering practices to help clients modernize software and scale long-term AI capabilities.

The appointment underscores GAP’s positioning as a best-in-class AI transformation partner, combining high-level C-suite advisory with end-to-end technical execution across generative, agentic and custom AI technologies. GAP’s leaders understand the AI market has reached a critical turning point, where companies face immense challenges around legacy architecture, governance, scaling and ROI.

“Our clients don’t just need AI advice; they need an execution partner who can translate complex technology into sustainable business value,” said GAP’s CEO and Cofounder Joyce Durst. “Dwayne’s leadership allows us to bridge the gap between executive strategy and technical execution. Having a dedicated leader driving our AI practice ensures we can move faster, innovate smarter and equip our clients with the internal AI capabilities they need to maintain a competitive edge.”

Stoltz brings over three decades of operational, execution and technology leadership experience, with a proven track record of building enterprise AI practices, commercializing advanced consulting services and delivering high-impact executive advisory.

At the core of GAP’s strategy is a modernized delivery engine that pairs human engineering pods with autonomous engineers and proprietary AI-driven development tools. This hybrid methodology enables clients to accelerate product velocity, automate complex workflows, and modernize core software at unprecedented speed while upholding strict security standards.

“The AI landscape is moving from experimentation to execution, and companies need clear, reliable roadmaps that yield measurable outcomes,” Stoltz said. “By combining deep engineering discipline with strategic consulting, GAP is uniquely positioned to remove the friction from AI adoption. My goal is to build a market-leading practice that gives our clients both the custom solutions they need, along with the internal muscle to stay ahead. And my focus will be on delivering practical, scalable AI solutions today, while helping our clients build autonomous capabilities that power their growth tomorrow.”

In his role, Stoltz will oversee four primary strategic pillars:

-AI Services Portfolio: Scaling enterprise-ready service offerings, from agentic AI workflows and autonomous software engineering tools, to generative models and emerging technologies.
-Executive Advisory: Delivering AI readiness assessments, strategic roadmaps and custom, hands-on acceleration workshops.
-Practice & Talent Leadership: Expanding GAP’s global technical bench strength to scale specialized AI delivery capabilities.
-Internal Innovation & Governance: Leveraging GAP’s own internal delivery efficiencies as client-facing proof points, while upholding rigorous AI governance standards.

“Since early 2024, we have taken intentional steps to lay the groundwork for our next phase of growth,” Durst added. “AI is central to how we operate internally and what we build for our clients. Dwayne brings the ideal combination of technical credibility and commercial vision needed to help C-suite executives navigate their AI journeys, build lasting internal capabilities and capture long-term value.”

Stoltz officially assumed his role on Oct. 1, 2026.
