The Team: Visionaries, Builders, and Problem-Solvers

Every startup has a story, and at the heart of SmartProjects.ai is a team of passionate, experienced professionals who share a common frustration—the inefficiencies of traditional project management—and a common vision: to change the way projects are estimated, planned, and executed.

It started with a question

SmartProjects.ai was not born in a boardroom but out of real-world challenges faced by those who have lived and breathed the pain of failed projects.

For Olga Magnusson, our founder and CEO, the tipping point came after 15+ years of leading complex projects across IT, recruitment, and telecom industries​. She had seen projects derailed by poor estimations, teams overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations, and companies losing millions in mismanaged budgets. The frustration was personal—why were we still making the same mistakes when we had more data, more tools, and better technology than ever before?

She knew the answer wasn’t in more meetings, more spreadsheets, or more processes. It was in leveraging AI to make better decisions, faster.
But bringing this vision to life required more than just an idea—it needed a team of innovators, engineers, and industry experts who could turn AI into a game-changer for project management.
