Athlete's AI

Athlete’s AI was formed in Adelaide in July 2017 founded by Dr David To, Dr Mark McDonnell and Dr Guy Gallasch. David was a former professional tennis player with a PhD in Chemical Engineering and an MBA from the University College London; Mark is an internationally known researcher in Computer Science; and Guy is an experienced Computer Systems Engineer.

The company was formed off the basis that video analytics is not delivered in an efficient and cost-effective manner, as experienced by David during his professional tennis days. The first step taken was identifying the skillsets required and forming the team.
