We are excited to announce that Dimitris Vassos, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Omilia, will join the speaker line-up at the EU-Startups Summit 2026 on May 7-8 in sunny Malta.
Founded in 2002, Omilia is one of the most advanced Voice AI and Agentic CX platforms globally, enabling enterprises to deliver seamless, human-like customer interactions at scale. Its technology powers customer experience operations for major organisations across banking, insurance, healthcare, and quick service restaurants, supporting large-scale deployments in 17 countries. Built as a bootstrapped company, Omilia has grown to well over $50 million in annual recurring revenue, maintaining a 99% gross retention rate through a strong focus on measurable ROI and operational performance.
With more than two decades at the forefront of AI-driven customer experience, Dimitris began his career at IBM UK in 1997, where he played a key role in deploying global voice technologies across more than 70 countries. He went on to found Omilia long before Conversational and Agentic AI became mainstream terms. Over the years, he has personally led the design and deployment of more than 150 large-scale AI implementations, helping enterprises modernise their customer service operations and scale efficiently while maintaining service quality.
At the Summit, Dimitris will deliver a talk focused on building enterprise-grade AI solutions that deliver real business value. Drawing on his experience scaling a bootstrapped AI company in highly competitive markets, he will share practical insights on cutting through hype, winning enterprise trust, structuring AI deployments for measurable ROI, and sustaining long-term growth in the evolving customer experience landscape.
