“If you really want to create impact, it’s not enough to just show people what’s happening and give them analytics, but you also have to, in some way, produce a tangible ROI.” — Konstantinos Kyriakopoulos

“The most important thing is to evaluate performance, so to make sure that the proof of performance is constantly being tested and you have good benchmarks and analytics.” — Konstantinos Kyriakopoulos

“It’s really important to also be able to check internally what is going on but also how the customer wants to see what’s created.” — Konstantinos Kyriakopoulos

“For us, the impact is actually very straightforward. It’s dollars and the metrics tonnes of CO2.” — Konstantinos Kyriakopoulos

“I think what I always say when people talk to me about starting an AI company is to focus on your data architecture early.” — Konstantinos Kyriakopoulos
