Summary
Aleksandar Stojanovic is a serial AI entrepreneur and strategic technology leader with 25 years of experience and three corporate exits, now based in Geneva and focused on preparing humanity for coexistence with superintelligent AI. As Director General of the DARI Foundation and a longtime builder of AI ventures and studios, he blends foresight, policy, art, and research to shape optimistic yet cautious pathways for tech-human co-evolution. He has led and scaled ventures across public and private sectors—from founding Digital District and exiting to Publicis, to co-founding AVA and advising Merantix Momentum—bringing rare expertise in turning visionary AI concepts into operational businesses. Aleksandar combines design thinking and predictive data science training (Stanford d.school, Warwick) with hands-on commercial leadership in public-sector bidding, security risk platforms, and education publishing. Notably, he operates at the intersection of strategy, product and public dialogue, regularly advising interdisciplinary institutes like the Edgelands Institute to redraw social contracts for urbanized, surveilled futures. His background shows a pattern of launching ecosystem-shaping initiatives rather than incremental features, making him a builder of platforms and narratives as much as companies.
