News Desk - 04/07/2025

UiPath, agentic automation, has announced Romanian Olympic swimming champion David Popovici as its new Global Ambassador.

The company revealed that Popovici will attend and speak at several UiPath events worldwide. The four-year partnership will support his preparation for major European and international swimming competitions, including the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

David Popovici, a freestyle specialist born in Bucharest, gained global attention at the 2022 World Championships. At just 17, he became the first male swimmer in 49 years to win both the 100m and 200m freestyle events at the same championship. He also became the second-youngest swimmer to win the men’s 200m world title.

In the same year, Popovici won gold in both freestyle events at the European Championships. He broke the 100m freestyle world record and set a new junior record in the 200m.

In 2024, Popovici improved on his fourth-place finish from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. He won gold in the 200m freestyle and bronze in the 100m at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Currently, he is training for his third consecutive Olympics and will next compete at the Singapore 2025 World Aquatics Championships.

UiPath Co-Founder and CEO Daniel Dines commented on the partnership, saying it reflects the synergy between human excellence and technological innovation.

“What makes David a champion isn’t just raw talent it’s his ability to bring together every element that drives excellence,” Dines stated.

He compared Popovici’s precision, discipline, and perseverance to UiPath’s vision of integrating people, AI agents, and robots through agentic orchestration.

Popovici also shared his thoughts on the collaboration. He highlighted UiPath’s commitment to innovation and global impact.

“UiPath is a place where innovative ideas are supported,” said Popovici. “It feels natural to partner with a strong brand that has stayed true to its roots.”

The company also announced that between September 29 and October 1, 2025, it will host the first edition of UiPath FUSION, a high-tech event for the global UiPath community. Popovici will join CEO Daniel Dines on stage at the event.
