Fractional AI leadership for working systems.

I help leaders connect open innovation, private knowledge, agentic engineering, governance, and adoption in daily work.

Transformation in practice

Change becomes real when teams can test it.

More than 20 years of communication leadership and transformation work shape how I introduce AI: with clear direction, employee-led experiments, fast learning, and an operating rhythm that lasts.

Fractional AI Leader

Hands-on AI leadership for organisations that need direction, governance, and delivery without hiring a full-time executive first.

  • AI roadmap and governance that executives can actually use.
  • Use-case prioritisation across communication, marketing, legal, operations, and knowledge work.
  • Team routines, decision forums, vendor choices, and practical delivery support.

Open Innovation and AI Strategy

A practical route from AI ambition to adoption for SMEs and expert teams, built around real constraints, decisions, and measurable work.

  • Opportunity mapping, use-case portfolios, and risk-aware adoption plans.
  • Executive briefings for DACH and international teams.
  • Connection to MMIND.ai's AI Experience Center for deeper implementation work.

Private Knowledge AI

AI systems that make sensitive organisational knowledge useful without giving up deliberate control over sources, access, and decisions.

  • Approved knowledge sources, permissions, provenance, and version ownership.
  • Private knowledge hubs and retrieval patterns for regulated or trust-sensitive work.
  • Human review, visible uncertainty, and governance designed into the workflow.

Agentic Engineering Workshops

Practical workshops where teams build, test, and improve agents for real recurring work.

  • From prompt to reusable agent workflow.
  • Claude, Codex, Copilot, GitHub, Lovable, and custom stacks.
  • Includes quality rules, handover logic, and human review loops.

AI Adoption and Transformation

Change and innovation systems that connect leadership intent with employee-led experimentation and measurable adoption.

  • More than 20 years of communication leadership and transformation experience.
  • Agile at Scale, Swisscom Kickbox, Lean Startup, Theory U, and related facilitation approaches.
  • Applied in large and small companies as well as public administration.

Research-to-Practice Briefings

A bridge between papers, university work, innovation projects, and operational decisions.

  • Weekly or monthly briefings for leadership teams.
  • Applied interpretation of AI, communication, performance, and innovation research.
  • Useful for boards, universities, accelerators, and expert communities.

Speaking, Teaching, and Workshops

Talks and teaching formats that connect AI practice, communication science, and organisational learning.

  • Guest lectures, executive workshops, and conference talks.
  • Communication science, AI adoption, agentic work, and research translation.
  • International perspective from Munich, Manchester, Liechtenstein, and the DACH region.

Useful AI starts with real work.

Bring a concrete question, paper, workflow, or team challenge. We can turn it into a practical next step.
