Summary
Richard Hundt is a seasoned software leader and entrepreneur with 15 years of experience building data-driven, real-time analytics and AI products across startups and scale-ups. As Co-Founder & CTO of DGTAL and founder of Silicon AI, he focuses on embedding AI in the loop to automate routine work and surface actionable insights for complex decision-making, with strong emphasis on execution, integration and delivery. His background spans leading engineering teams (including 20–25 engineers at XING), architecting big-data platforms in Scala, and bringing machine learning into privacy-sensitive domains like fraud prevention. Comfortable oscillating between hands-on development and strategic leadership, he has a track record of shipping practical, production-grade systems rather than academic prototypes. Based in Greater Hamburg, he combines a pragmatic engineering mindset with a long-term vision to free humans from “glorified data processor” work, translating that philosophy into commercially viable analytics products.
