Oles Petriv

Oles Petriv is Chief AI Officer and co-founder of Reface, a Ukrainian AI company whose portfolio of around ten generative AI products has reached more than 300 million users worldwide. The founding team came together in 2011 as Neocortext, working on NLP and computer vision, before turning to generative media in 2018.

As head of ML and later CTO, Oles built the research organisation behind that portfolio — real-time face swap, photo animation, style transfer, lip sync and video generation among them — taking each from research to consumer scale. As Chief AI Officer he now leads Reface’s shift toward an agentic company, rebuilding its processes, products and culture around AI agents. He also sits on the board of AI HOUSE, Ukraine’s largest AI community.
