Nikita Lukianets is a technology leader and serial founder with 11 years of experience building AI-driven products and research-led startups, currently serving as CTO and co-founder of HelloBiome. He blends an applied physics and PhD-level research background with an MBA in Design and Innovation to bridge rigorous R&D, human-centered design, and product strategy. Nikita has hands-on expertise across HCI, predictive analytics, ML and data engineering, and has repeatedly taken teams from early concept to market—most recently leading a virtual coaching AI product at PocketConfidant. He founded the Open Ethics initiative to foster multi-stakeholder dialogue on transparent, responsible AI and frequently asks difficult ethical questions that shape product roadmaps. Comfortable oscillating between code, experiments and board-level strategy, he prioritizes user impact and measurable ROI while exploring neurotechnology and brain-computer interface applications. Based in Kyiv, he combines global program experience (Microsoft startup programs) with a researcher’s curiosity and a designer’s focus on craft.
