Orlando Wood
Founder & CEO, KoobrikLabs. Host of Technically Creative.
Orlando Wood is the founder and CEO of KoobrikLabs, the Los Angeles managed IT and AI partner for media and creative companies, and the host of the Technically Creative podcast.
Before founding KoobrikLabs, Orlando spent his career inside the creative industries: in advertising at Wieden+Kennedy and Fallon London, in film and TV production at Biscuit Filmworks, Rogue and the BBC, in journalism, and in comics through Dead Canary Comics. He has run production companies and ad agencies, and sat on the boards of British Arrows and the APA. That experience is why KoobrikLabs builds technology around the specific problems creative and production companies have.
Orlando is a Campaign 40 Over 40 honoree for his work in advertising and technology. Under his leadership KoobrikLabs was accepted into the Warner Bros. Discovery Accelerator and became a member of the Anthropic Claude Partner Network.
