Ian Ozsvald AI Strategist

When teams need a trusted outside eye, I consult with Series A through to corporate organisations to unlock AI initiatives that have stalled. After 25 years in applied AI, I know exactly where these projects go wrong — and how to turn them around.

In 2025 I founded PLAYGROUP — a monthly in-person gathering of expert LLM practitioners pushing the frontier of what's achievable right now. If you're doing serious work at the edge, come and find your tribe.

With Micha Gorelick I'm the co-author of High Performance Python (O'Reilly, 3 editions). I've spoken internationally on data science and applied AI to practitioners and organisations worldwide.
