What I do

Board

Board seats focused on AI, workforce transformation, financial services and digital sovereignty.

I bring an understanding of how AI changes tasks, roles and skills and what that means for strategy, governance and organisation. Plus around ten years of association work with policymakers, banks and regulators, experience on the board of a bank and, since 2017, the Federal Council's Digital Transformation Advisory Board.

Stage

Talks on AI, work and entrepreneurship, in German and English.

Topics: tasks, not jobs; why AI strategies fail with people; who owns the AI models; and the renaissance of entrepreneurship. Every talk is tailored to the audience and occasion.

Advisory

For executive teams introducing AI who want to bring their people along.

Which tasks move to the machine, which stay with people? What does training look like that works day to day? How do you win over sceptics instead of sidelining them?

Three areas

Every job consists of many tasks. With AI, each task lands in one of three areas. That split, not the job title, will decide the next few years.

AI only

The machine works alone: research, first drafts, standard analyses. This area is growing and takes over exactly the tasks people used to start an office career with.

Human-AI Collaboration

People and machines work together, and the person is accountable for the result. This is where most of the training need lies: judging results and spotting errors that sound plausible.

Human only

The work stays human because it needs resonance: building trust, negotiating conflict, leading a team through change.
