Summary
Konstantinos Zachos is a Head of AI Strategy & Innovation who combines 15+ years of R&D with hands-on platform engineering to turn AI research into operational business value. At STIQ he builds enterprise-scale BI and ML systems that process millions of orders to improve demand forecasting, menu performance and kitchen efficiency across multiple restaurant brands.
