Does This Sound Familiar?
You know that you need to start using AI, but don't know where to start
Your technical and business teams speak different languages and can't align
You've invested months in AI projects that remain stuck in proof-of-concept limbo
You're not alone. 95% of AI projects never make it to production.* But it doesn't have to be this way.

- • Avoid the common pitfalls that kill 95% of AI projects
Why I Do This
After 15 years building AI systems at Siemens, Volkswagen, and Accenture, I've seen too many promising projects fail — not because the technology is lacking, but because someone needed to bridge three worlds:
- • Business strategy (what should we build?)
- • Technical reality (what can we build?)
- • Execution (how do we actually ship it?)
Most consultants live in one world. I've spent my career mastering all three.
For example: At Siemens, I scaled a visual quality inspection solution from idea into productive usage across multiple factories worldwide. With Accenture, I managed global rollouts for a major bank and ensured that their online banking portal goes live without friction.
As former data protection representative for the Volkswagen Data:Lab, I know how to build solutions that don't just work for your customers, but for the workers' council and the data protection officer as well.
Your company deserves the same AI capabilities as the Fortune 500—without the enterprise overhead. You don't need AI theater. You need results. That's what I deliver.
PhD in Physics → Product Owner → Data Scientist
I speak both tech and business fluently. One of my great strengths is my ability to communicate complex topics in a way that is tailored to target audiences.
What Makes My Approach Different:
Full-Stack Expertise: Strategy Building + Product Ownership + hands-on builder = I cover the entire project lifecycle, from ideation to production rollout
Production-Proven: I've shipped AI systems running 24/7 in real factories and banking systems, not just built demos
Based in Munich, working across German-speaking Europe.
Featured: My Book on Generative AI
A non-technical guide for business leaders and curious minds
I wrote this book because AI doesn't need more hype — it needs clarity. In plain language, I explain how GenAI actually works, where it adds value, and how to evaluate AI projects realistically. Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or trying to scale existing pilots, this book gives you the frameworks to make smart decisions.
