Bruno’s journey from an eager 11-year-old boy visiting Greece to a transformative figure in global robotics is nothing short of extraordinary. As the Senior Staff in Robotics Firmware at Tesla, he is currently pushing the boundaries of automation, revolutionizing factory operations in California and Nevada.

Before Tesla, Bruno co-founded Snox Engineering Group, where he played a crucial role in developing advanced navigation and guidance systems. His leadership not only propelled Snox’s technology forward but also led to a high-profile collaboration with KUKA Roboter on an all-electric vehicle project. With Bruno as a leader, Snox expanded its range of vehicles across various industries. The company's success led to its acquisition by Grenzebach Maschinenbau in 2013, where Bruno continued to innovate as CTO, developing award-winning warehouse robots.

A former Big Pi Venture Partner, Bruno’s venture capital experience complements his entrepreneurial proficiency. His frequent visits to Greece has deepened his interest in the Greek economy, while his ongoing connections to the Greek startup scene has kept him actively engaged with the local entrepreneurs. The Bay Area further connected him with Greek diaspora, enriching his goal to bridge the tech landscapes between the U.S. and Greece. With a Master’s and PhD in Engineering Sciences from KU Leuven, his academic foundation equipped him for a career marked by big advancements.
