“It’s AI time – for you, me, and 2021.AI. I’m thrilled about the platform and how fast customers will adapt and evolve with new and existing AI solutions.

Bjørn Olesen has worked in sales and management for several different technology companies, from Datacon to ExpandIT to his most recent role as Market Manager at DXC Technology. Under his direction, 2021.AI will focus on commercializing the platform.

Previously, 2021.AI based many of its offerings around consultancy by building individual models. The mission now is to offer its state of the art software and consultancy to aid its various partners within their own consulting journeys.

“2021.AI has spent the last few years developing and fine-tuning the enterprise AI platform, and the regulatory excellence for AI solution, now it is time to focus more on sales and global distribution.
