About Lunero
Built by people who understand childcare risk.
Built from years inside Australian childcare centres, backed by peer-reviewed AI research and high-stakes operational delivery.
"Lunero exists to help services intervene faster and document incidents with confidence, using ethical, sovereign AI built for Australian childcare."
Founding team
Three founders. Domain depth across childcare operations, governance, and computer vision, built for Australian conditions.
Tanya Wenczel
Co-Founder & CEO
Tanya has been self-employed her entire career, leading ventures across ballet, acting, teaching, marketing, writing, and production. That path built the founder stamina, audience craft, and stakeholder trust she now turns toward operator adoption, capital strategy, and the child-safety conversation.

Erik Sawaya
Co-Founder & COO
Erik spent two years on-site at Australian childcare centres as a photo and video supplier, working closely with directors and educators during each visit. That access let him observe room patterns and behaviours first-hand and run informal interviews with leadership and floor staff — the operational grounding that shapes Lunero's product architecture, reporting workflows, and rollout path.

Dr. Mohammad Abuhassan
Co-Founder, CTO & Chief AI Officer
Dr. Abuhassan pairs two years as a DevOps engineer at Zain with peer-reviewed ML/DL research and HREC-approved child behaviour work. He owns Lunero's technical stack end-to-end — from on-device inference models to the production infrastructure that ships them inside real services.
