Craig Donnelly is a seasoned technology executive and CTO with over 18 years in IT, telecoms and online gaming, now leading EU-sovereign AI infrastructure and venture studio tech strategy. He has repeatedly built and scaled cloud-native platforms—from ad tech and digital property marketplaces to AI-powered QA and workplace experience systems—bringing hands-on expertise across Python, C-family languages, Django/Flask, MySQL/MongoDB and AWS/Azure. Comfortable switching between code, architecture and board-level decisions, he combines engineering depth (including iOS and messaging systems like ZeroMQ) with formal project management and governance experience. A pragmatic privacy-focused technologist, he’s currently driving a private inference platform with zero data retention and OpenAI compatibility while advising startups across AI, fintech and blockchain. Outside work he’s a husband and father of two who still finds time to tinker with code and system design.
