Mikael Rousson is a seasoned technology leader and CEO with 17 years of industry experience building computer vision and deep learning products since his PhD work in image segmentation.

Mikael combines deep technical expertise in medical imaging, face recognition and real-time vision systems with product and team-building skills across startups and larger corporations. Based in Linköping, he is comfortable moving between research, architecture, and executive strategy, and has a track record of turning complex vision algorithms into practical, deployed systems. An early practitioner of cue-integration approaches in segmentation, he brings both academic rigor and pragmatic delivery to AI-driven product development.
