Founders

Meet our founders

We started together with the idea behind Kommittee, laying the foundation as pioneers in AI assistant development. With innovative solutions that help businesses work smarter and faster, our platform kommittee.app redefined how teams interact with AI—through tailored virtual experts and a human-in-the-loop approach to solving everyday challenges. Now, we’re bringing that shared experience and expertise into the field of dementia care with Luma Life. Driven by a personal mission and a deep understanding of intuitive AI workflows, we are developing technologies that not only support but also connect, relieve and empower. Because when innovation meets empathy, life can truly be improved.
