Led by Andrew Vassili.

Player 2 AI is led by Andrew Vassili — ex-Head of AI and Head of Engineering at Stake, where he built the AI function from scratch: shipping Australia's first SMSF AI assistant to thousands of customers, hitting 55%+ ticket deflection in a heavily regulated business, and running org-wide rollouts of Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT Enterprise and Gemini.

Before that: a decade across defence, medtech and trading infrastructure — ResMed, the Department of Defence, BAE Systems, PwC and Telstra. In parallel he founded Player2.tax, Australia's first conversational AI tax platform, grew it to profitability and sold it.
