Redefining Talent Acquisition with AI
Objective, Fair, Trusted and Future-Ready

XOPA AI Story

XOPA AI was founded in 2017 by Nina Alag Suri (Founder) and Co-Founding Advisor Dr Jussi Keppo.

Previously, Nina was the Founder and CEO of a global executive search firm, Nastrac Group and it was through this venture that she realized the inefficiencies and subjectivity of traditional hiring processes and thus decided to disrupt her own business and pivot to an Al and ML SaaS-based platform with XOPA AI – an AI-powered recruitment solution designed to transform the hiring process into a more efficient and objective science.
