The people behind it.
CBS AI Academy is student-led. The team building and running this programme are themselves CBS students — driven by a belief that structured, hands-on AI education should exist at a business school.
Built by students, for students.
Four co-founders. One shared mission — to build the most credible, hands-on AI programme at Copenhagen Business School.
Darina Starodumova
Program Lead
Darina co-founded CBS AI Academy and sits at the heart of everything the CBS AI Academy has become — from shaping the learning journey and workshop design to building the partner ecosystem that gives the programme its real-world edge. She led the conversations that brought the right organisations to the table, and made sure every collaboration landed with purpose.
