Luke Ciantar

Founder

Luke has more than 20 years' experience building and leading organisations across iGaming, software product delivery and enterprise IT.

Most recently, he was the CEO of a publicly listed technology group. He joined as its founding CTO in 2018, built the entire technology function from teams and delivery frameworks to engineering culture, and was promoted to lead the full business in 2022.

Earlier, he co-founded an IT managed services company in Malta and helped grow and direct it for 14 years. Before that, he held technical leadership roles at a national IT agency and a local IT service provider, building a foundation in data centre operations, infrastructure and enterprise systems.

That path through the engine room shapes how he advises: close to the technical detail, focused on the commercial outcome, and at ease in the boardroom with investors, regulators and partners.

Focus areas

  • Technology strategy and commercial outcomes
  • Scaling teams and operations
  • M&A, integration and post-acquisition growth
  • Engineering culture and delivery
  • Board-level advisory

Recent AI projects

AI work Luke has managed.

Two recent projects where Luke was the project manager, working with the specialist team that built them. The clients are confidential.

Shared code knowledge for an engineering team

Engineers were gathering context from several repositories by hand, and their AI assistants kept re-reading the same files at a cost nobody could see. The team built a map of services and dependencies that assistants can query, and routed every model request through a gateway that gives each engineer and service its own budget.

Support triage with replies ready for review

Support agents spent much of each day sorting and routing tickets before they could help anyone. The team built a workflow inside the existing helpdesk that categorises and routes tickets, drafts replies from approved help articles, and sends complaints and other sensitive requests straight to a person. Agents review and send every reply.
