Dr Ana Clarke - Founder, CEO & CTO
I am an executive technology and AI leader with over 20 years of experience building, scaling, and leading organizations across technology, finance, energy, healthcare, government, and consulting.
My background in Mathematics and Statistics led me into data science, artificial intelligence, and automation. I specialise in helping organizations turn complex AI and data initiatives into practical, production ready systems that deliver measurable operational and commercial outcomes.
As CEO and CTO of AC SmartData, I lead an Australian AI and data science company focused on AI strategy, agentic AI and AI agents, intelligent automation, and secure, scalable data platforms. We design AI solutions that integrate with existing systems and meet regulatory, security, and governance requirements.
I work closely with founders, executives, and boards, often acting as a fractional or interim CTO. I support organizations that need senior technical and strategic leadership, helping them move from experimentation to production and make sound technology decisions.
My leadership style is hands on and pragmatic. I can set direction at executive level while remaining close to architecture, engineering teams, and delivery. I care deeply about responsible AI, simplifying complexity, and building systems that work in real operating environments.
We make AI implementation simple and effective for your business, eliminating the confusion and complexity. Here’s why businesses trust us:
