How Brain++ is organised

Strategic oversight, a flat operational management layer, and three operating units.

Org chart
Organisational chart of the Brain++ AI and HPC Division. Strategic oversight sits with the Supervisory Board, chaired by Peter Statev, alongside an External Advisory Board. Day-to-day delivery runs through a flat Operational Management layer: AI Factory Manager Simeon Stoyanov, Customer and Operations Manager Kiril Kirilov, Program Manager Kalina Kalcheva, a Finance Expert, and a Legal Advisor. Three operating units sit under that layer: Programme and Project Management; the BizDev, AI agents, finance and legal unit, which also contains the federated AI data lake team; and Technical and Customer Support Operations. Every role shown is also listed as a card further down this page.
