Artificial Intelligence Experts in Austria

Datacenter audit and subsequent transformation program

• Initial situation: Following a critical outage, the datacenter was considered the cause. A traditional audit was to be put out to tender.
• My diagnosis: The technical architecture was not the core problem. The key issues were the incident, diagnosis, and recovery processes, as well as a lack of transparency regarding costs and dependencies.
• Impact: The audit was implemented pragmatically in-house. The results and budget foundations became the basis for a multi-year international transformation program. I was then retained as the preferred candidate for a central transformation stream.

I build. I advise. I think in systems. After years leading digital transformation at scale — Accenture, BP, Lidl — I made a deliberate choice: trade platform dependency for structural independence. My focus is at the intersection of AI systems, product strategy, and venture thinking. I work with operators and founders who want to move fast without losing control — of their data, their stack, their direction.
