Romanian Olympic swimming champion David Popovici appointed as UiPath's Global Ambassador
In a groundbreaking move, Romanian swimming sensation David Popovici has been named as UiPath's Global Ambassador. This four-year collaboration, announced at a press release, marks a significant step for both parties as they embark on a journey towards innovation and excellence.
Popovici, who burst onto the elite swimming scene at the 2022 World Championships, made history by becoming the first male swimmer in 49 years to win the 100m and 200m freestyle titles at the same event. He followed this achievement with gold medals in the same events at the 2022 European Championships. In 2024, he went on to win the gold medal in the 200m freestyle race at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and earlier this year, he set a new world junior record in the 200m freestyle race at the same World Championships.
The partnership between Popovici and UiPath, a global leader in agentic automation, is more than just a sponsorship. It is a strategic alliance that offers Popovici valuable support throughout his preparation for major swimming competitions, including the biggest European and world championships and the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
As a Global Ambassador, Popovici will attend and speak at several UiPath events globally, connecting him with a community that values innovation, discipline, and excellence. This collaboration reflects a synergy between the precision, discipline, and perseverance required in competitive swimming and UiPath’s mission to integrate human performance with advanced AI and automation technologies.
UiPath Co-Founder and CEO, Daniel Dines, stated that Popovici embodies the harmony between precision, perseverance, and purpose. Popovici himself expressed his excitement about partnering with UiPath, stating that it feels natural to partner with a brand that supports innovative ideas and shares similar values.
The first edition of UiPath FUSION, a major event in the tech industry, will take place from September 29 - October 1st, 2025, at the Wynn Las Vegas. Popovici will join UiPath Co-Founder and CEO Daniel Dines on stage during this event.
