AI Strategy Consultant
Turning AI Potential into Competitive Advantage.
Strategically. Human-centric. Data-sovereign.

AI Strategy, not hype!
Enable your team, not replace them!
Data sovereignty, not blind dependency!
I help Managing Directors and knowledge executives make strategic AI decisions without falling into expensive hype or rushed action. No 200-slide decks, no jargon. Just clarity on what works and what doesn't.
With over 20 years at a global Top 5 strategy consulting firm and a leading law firm, I understand knowledge-intensive organizations: high standards, limited resources, skepticism toward tools that overpromise.
My approach:
- Strategic 4-phases framework: from analysis, strategy development, and definition of use cases to implementation and anchoring.
- Systematic involvement of management and teams with AI Design Sprints®.
- Focus on AI use cases that improve decision-making quality (not just speed), are truly relevant to management, and free teams from administrative work so they can concentrate on high-value tasks.
Why this works:
I bring strategy expertise and the ability to structure complex transformations, not pre-packaged solutions. Teams are involved from the start because ivory tower strategies fail. We test every application for robustness, explainability, and compliance (GDPR, EU AI Act).
Typical questions we address include:
- Where does AI investment actually pay off, and where is it a distraction?
- How can smaller organizations with limited resources use AI without being outpaced by large corporations?
- How must the research function be rethought to remain decision-critical?
AI should enable teams to focus on value-adding work, not replace them.
Facing strategic AI decisions? Let's talk.
