Michalis strengthens our team as an AI and Full-Stack Engineer, leading the research and development of a groundbreaking, fully AI-enabled software platform that redefines how board evaluations are conducted by creating an entirely new, automated reporting architecture. His work
focuses on designing, training, and integrating advanced AI and large language models to solve complex, non-routine problems, develop novel methodologies, and significantly accelerate insight generation, enabling higher-quality results delivered substantially faster than existing solutions.

Originally from Greece, Michalis completed his BSc and worked for several years as a Software Engineer, including a period working remotely from Spain. Today, he is pursuing a master’s degree in
human-centred Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), which neatly bridges his dual interest in technical AI development and the broader organizational impact of new technologies.

Zofia is in her final year of the bachelor’s program in Business Administration and Sociology at Copenhagen Business School (CBS). She serves as our go-to “libero,” taking on a broad range of tasks across communications, marketing, digital platforms, and operations, delivering them quickly and to a consistently high standard. She supports our external communications, plays a central role in scaling The Board Community, maintains our websites, and contributes to copywriting, consistently applying a thoughtful behavioural economics perspective and a strong sense for user experience. Originally from Poland, she moved to Denmark after high school to begin her studies at CBS, and her sociology background gives her a natural ability to question assumptions, suggest smarter approaches, and improve how people engage with our content and platforms.
