Kosovare Olluri, PhD, is an AI expert and strategic advisor based in Oslo, Norway. She serves as Head of AI at XLENT, where she works at the intersection of strategy and hands-on implementation — helping organizations move from AI ambition to practical, measurable results.

With a doctorate in astrophysics and a background in advanced data science and machine learning, Kosovare combines deep analytical expertise with real-world execution. She both advises executive leadership teams on AI strategy, governance, and long-term capability building, and works closely with technical teams to design and implement production-ready AI systems. Her approach is pragmatic and grounded: start with real problems, build responsibly, and scale what creates value.

Kosovare is particularly focused on applied AI — predictive modeling, decision-support systems, and robust machine learning solutions that integrate into existing business processes. She advocates for responsible AI development and believes sustainable impact comes from combining technical quality, organizational readiness, and clear leadership commitment.

In 2025, she was recognized as one of Norway’s 50 Women in Tech, acknowledging her professional contribution and her role in strengthening diversity and competence within the technology sector.

At AI+ Conference 2026, Kosovare brings a Scandinavian perspective on AI: practical, ethical, and value-driven. She shares insights on how organizations can balance innovation with responsibility, move beyond pilots to operational AI, and build AI capabilities that create lasting competitive advantage.
