Panos is a co-founder, senior executive, and early-stage investor focused on cross-pollinating cutting-edge AI research with practical business applications and forging multi-stakeholder partnerships between the Silicon Valley ecosystem and the rest of the world. He operates at the confluence of three pivotal communities: C-suite executives at leading global companies, capital allocators deploying funds into the AI ecosystem, and the technical founders building the next wave of AI.

As the former founding Managing Director of Partnerships at Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), Panos built one of the world’s most significant multistakeholder AI ecosystems. He now focuses on building a new venture in stealth while continuing his engagement with Stanford University as a Senior Advisor.

Beyond Stanford, Panos is a hands-on angel investor who helps incubate Stanford-affiliated startups, guiding them from research to product-market fit and commercial scale. His portfolio includes companies like Together.ai, Resolve.ai, Moonlake.ai and Bigspin.ai, among others.

Panos holds an LLM from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and an MSx from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (Rochat Fellow). He is a frequent speaker at global forums such as the World Economic Forum, Milken Institute, and TED.
