I help leadership teams turn the potential of AI into measurable business results — fast, pragmatic, and with people at the core.

As Co-Founder of Infinite Mind, I work with CEOs and innovation leaders to identify high-impact AI opportunities, design actionable solutions, and support adoption across the organization. Our focus: driving productivity gains, smarter workflows, and scalable value.

Over the past ten years, I've worked at the intersection of Digital Transformation, Data, and Machine Learning, advising companies in software, high-tech, media, and insurance. I’ve led large-scale initiatives, including the group-wide adoption of Generative AI, and understand the strategic and human challenges of driving change at scale.

I combine a technical background in machine learning (M.Sc. Electrical & Computer Engineering, TUM) with a broader perspective shaped by degrees in Physics and Philosophy (LMU Munich). In addition to my consulting work, I’ve co-founded a tech-enabled charity and supported early-stage founders as a business coach.
