Garik Petrosyan

I am a technology entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of Essential, a software engineering company established in Armenia in 2009. Over the years, we helped build and scale technology products and engineering teams for companies in Armenia, the Europe and North America, working across industries including artificial intelligence, healthcare, retail technology, mobility, media and financial platforms. Alongside Essential, I have served as a CTO and technology partner in several startups and technology ventures. My work today is strongly focused on the practical use of AI in software engineering, product development and business operations. I am particularly interested in how founders can use AI not simply to build faster, but to rethink products, teams and business models while maintaining strong technical and entrepreneurial fundamentals.
