SILICON VALLEY, Calif., July 1, 2026 -- VirtuousAI, the creator of BAIO — the world's first Business AI operating platform — today announced the promotion of Laurentius von Liechti to Chief Technology Officer. This newly defined role reflects VirtuousAI's commitment to scaling its engineering capabilities and deepening the technical foundation that powers enterprise-wide AI transformation.
Laurentius brings a proven track record of building innovative technology and leading high-performing engineering teams.

I couldn't be more excited to see what he builds next.” - Chris Happ, CEO of VirtuousAI
Von Liechti's appointment comes at a pivotal moment for VirtuousAI, as mid-market enterprises increasingly look for more than point AI solutions and seek a unified operating layer that connects strategy, data, and execution. BAIO delivers that, and Laurentius will ensure the platform continues to set the standard for what enterprise AI can and should do.
“We're building something genuinely different – a totally new category of AI – that functions as the intelligence layer of a business, not just a collection of tools sitting in silos,” said Laurentius von Liechti, Chief Technology Officer, VirtuousAI. “I'm proud to step into this role and even more energized by what's ahead for our customers and the enterprise AI market.”
VirtuousAI is the creator of BAIO (Business Automation, Intelligence and Outcomes), the first-ever operating platform purpose-built for mid-market enterprises.
