Most people try to make broken systems a little less painful.

I build what replaces them.

Tatyana Kanzaveli is a founder, operator, and keynote speaker working at the intersection of AI agents, Generative AI, data, and real-world deployment — where strategy is measured in adoption, and technology earns its place by changing behavior.

She builds in high-stakes environments: messy inputs, skeptical users, real constraints — and the requirement that the system works outside the demo. Her work spans enterprise transformation and zero-to-one product execution across B2B and B2C, helping organizations navigate inflection points, open new markets, and grow from zero to millions in revenue, even in difficult cycles.

Her current focus is how AI agents reshape operating models — turning teams into systems, and systems into leverage. Her operating style is equal parts product discipline and strategic patience.

Her experience includes work with organizations such as PricewaterhouseCoopers and Fujitsu, plus early-web era startups. She mentors founders through 500 Startups and the Richard Branson Entrepreneurs Centre, and has served on boards of private companies.

One major chapter of her work is healthcare: she founded and led Open Health Network, building and deploying AI-driven programs with partners including UCSF, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The work spanned behavioral health, addictions, chronic pain, sleep disorders, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, oncology, and more — with an emphasis on trust, privacy, and measurable engagement. The underlying playbook is cross-industry: turn intelligence into workflows people actually choose to use.

She has built and deployed programs across diverse communities and international contexts. Her work has been featured on the White House platform; she presented at the first White House Demo Day, has spoken at the United Nations, delivered a TEDx talk, and keynoted major international conferences including WEBIT and WSIS. She is also the licensee and organizer of TEDxBayArea conferences.

Recognition includes being named one of the Top 10 Influential Women in Healthcare IT (2015), a Forbes Top 50 women-led startup tech founder, and one of the Top 25 Women in AI in Healthcare and Pharma (2022).

Outside of work, she is a former USSR chess champion who played on the same team as Garry Kasparov — and still believes the best strategy is clarity, not complexity.

Technology is only impressive when it becomes behavior.
