Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoni Ozel is a serial entrepreneur and researcher with 13 years of experience bridging academic rigor and product-focused AI ventures, currently co-founding and chairing Lucidminds AI from Amsterdam. He holds two PhDs spanning organization studies and economics/business, plus a technical MSc and BSc in engineering, enabling a rare mix of computational, organizational and economic perspectives on complex systems. His career moves from senior research roles and postdoctoral work to leading applied AI and big-data endeavours, including a stint as Managing Partner at Bigdata Teknoloji and work on multi-agent EU projects at TUBITAK. Roni focuses on Ethical AI and circular economy solutions, translating multi-disciplinary research into entrepreneurial change-making. He is comfortable at the intersection of theory and practice—designing agent-based simulations one moment and shaping AI product strategy the next. An understated detail: his background in VLSI and electrical engineering gives him deeper systems intuition than typical AI founders.
