Founder and CEO of CloudHero, a Romanian cloud, data and AI company built organically from the ground up without a single cent of external funding - and named the 2024 AWS Global Application Modernization Partner of the Year. An engineer turned entrepreneur, Andrei operates on a simple principle: technology only matters when it solves a real business problem and delivers a measurable result.
His focus centers on the practical side of the AI wave - moving past flashy demos to put reliable AI systems, data platforms and agentic automation into production across energy, telecom and utilities. He specializes in using AI agents to turn product assumptions into working, testable software in hours rather than months.
In his hands-on session, Andrei takes a product brief and uses Kiro to build a testable prototype live on stage. He’ll show founders how to test the riskiest assumptions, replace weeks of hypothetical feedback with actual software, and figure out what’s ready for a customer interview before committing serious capital or headcount.
