Summary
Senior AI consultant with a technical background and experience in managing complex IT projects. I assess early where AI creates real value and where it does not, and I base that on technical understanding rather than consulting theory.
As the interface between technology and the business side, I translate requirements into solid solutions and support them through to implementation. I assess feasibility and effort realistically, even when the answer is “not feasible,” and I communicate this to decision-makers and business teams without any loss in translation.
Beyond consulting itself, I empower teams through change management and targeted training to integrate AI into their daily work independently, from the first use-case assessment to implementation.
