Built by people who believed AI should feel human
Vallamo began with a conversation between friends.
We met while studying for our Master’s degrees at Warwick Business School, bringing together backgrounds across engineering, science, and law. While discussing the future of AI, our systems engineer raised a problem that stood out: despite huge advances in artificial intelligence, many businesses were implementing basic chatbots that felt cold, robotic, and disconnected from the customers they were designed to help.
The technology was improving, but the experience was not.
We believed businesses deserved better. AI should not create another barrier between companies and their customers. It should create conversations that feel natural, helpful, and genuinely valuable.
That belief became Vallamo.
Vallamo is co-founded by Alexander Hildebrant and Owen Asher Wharton.
Who’s behind Vallamo
Four people, four countries: Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany and Finland. One product.
Between us, we work in English, Danish, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and Finnish.
Alexander Hildebrant
Co-founder
One of the creative minds behind Vallamo, focused on where it goes next.
Alexander read Law at the University of Exeter, then completed a Master of Management at Warwick Business School with a growing focus on AI regulation. His time in strategy consulting at Monitor Deloitte sharpened the same instincts he now applies to Vallamo’s product decisions.
Owen Asher Wharton
Co-founder
One of the creative minds behind Vallamo, focused on how it comes together.
Owen studied Biomedical Sciences at the University of Sheffield and spent time at AstraZeneca before completing a Master of Management at Warwick Business School. That grounding in complex biological systems and pharmaceutical research shapes how he approaches the equally intricate systems behind Vallamo.
Anna Fetisova
Head of Marketing
If you have seen Vallamo somewhere, Anna made it look that good.
Anna studied Modern Languages and Communication and spent several years modelling in Milan and Barcelona. That instinct for how a brand presents itself now shows up in everything Vallamo publishes.
Sophia Irja Baxandall
Software Engineering Consultant
Meticulous about the details most people would never notice.
Sophia excelled in Systems Engineering at the University of Warwick and has spent her career since at the forefront of applied AI. She builds and refines the models that let Vallamo hold a conversation that actually feels human.
We answer support emails ourselves. If something breaks, you’re talking to us, not a ticket queue.
Our roadmap
We are building a new generation of business software that combines intelligent AI conversations, automation, and customer management into one seamless platform. Our goal is to help businesses respond faster, capture more opportunities, and deliver experiences that customers actually enjoy.
Our team brings together expertise across systems engineering, scientific research, and legal strategy, allowing us to approach AI differently, with a focus on reliability, usability, and trust.
Voice AI is now live, marking the next step in our journey to create a truly intelligent business platform. It is the first of many exciting innovations we have planned as we continue building the future of business automation.
We are not building AI to replace human connection.
We are building AI to make every interaction better.
Vallamo. Intelligent technology, human conversations.
