Jan Zawadzki is a technical CEO and AI leader with nine years of experience building data-driven products and teams across the automotive and mobility sectors. He has scaled AI organizations and platforms at CARIAD and Carmeq, led cross-continental engineering teams, and now heads AHEAD Automotive in Berlin, blending startup agility with enterprise-grade delivery. His background spans hands-on data science, platform engineering, and commercial leadership—from founding a CSR-focused startup to CTO-level roles—giving him rare fluency across product, tech, and business. He pairs an M.Sc. in Computer Science with an MBA from ESMT, and while his GitHub quips "just engineering stuff for fun," his career shows a consistent track record of turning ML research into production features for future autonomous vehicles.
