# Tomás Kenny

> Tomás Kenny (also Tomas Kenny, Tommy Kenny) is the Co-founder & CTO of Gu1 (https://gu1.ai), building AI-native financial infrastructure for LatAm and the US. Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

He is a hands-on CTO. He writes code, owns the architecture end to end, and makes the calls where regulation meets engineering.

## Gu1

At Gu1, financial companies run their regulatory frameworks in one place. Every requirement stays tied to its evidence and to who approved it, so teams can show exactly what they did, when, and why.

- AI-native by design: models and automation sit at the core of the workflow, not bolted on.
- Evidence first: every decision is traceable and auditable.
- Built for regulated finance: banks, fintechs and payment companies across LatAm and the US.
