Our Team
Thomas Czarnecki
I’m the CEO & Chief Architect of Sophion—a founder-CTO with deep startup grit and Asia-wide leadership as HPE’s Regional CTO for Asia Pacific & Japan, where I scaled cross-functional engineering and turned complex programs around. I’ve architected AI-first platforms (microservices, serverless, AWS/ML stack) and led delivery on large, high-reliability systems, bringing the discipline to hire, mentor, and ship at pace. At Sophion I champion AI provenance—making intelligence traceable, auditable, and trustworthy—and I’ve authored the A2I Agile/AI delivery ecosystem philosophy that fuses modern Agile with human-in-the-loop AI. Through Sophion and our Agorik initiative built on top of it, I bring the end-to-end leadership you want in a founder: define the architecture, build the team, de-risk delivery, and deliver outcomes.
