Ahmet Tolga Özol

Résumé

AI strategist and technology entrepreneur. A mathematical engineer whose path runs through a group IT directorship and three CEO roles to the five companies he has founded since 2018.

Summary

With more than thirty years in technology and over six years focused on artificial intelligence, I am the founder of Digivega, Digivega Studio, Muvia, Digivega Icons and Lefi, and a co-founder of Green Mood Organics. I do not only talk about how AI is reshaping business; I put it to work.

I turn complex technology problems into plain business decisions, with the aim of unlocking what teams and organisations can do and turning vision into action. I look at the impact of AI from its technological, social and human sides together.
