Speaking
After years full of hard-won lessons at the frontlines of corporate AI transformation, I've seen what actually works – and what's just noise. And I've realized that these lessons hardly ever make it outside the Global AI bubble.
That's what I'm fixing. I bring those enterprise insights to businesses across Europe, cutting through the hype to share what matters: practical wisdom grounded in lived experience, not theoretical fluff.
Through keynotes, leadership sessions, fireside chats, and panel discussions, I challenge conventional thinking about AI transformation. Sometimes critical. Sometimes funny. Always honest.
Because the world doesn't need another AI evangelist. It needs someone who'll tell you the truth about what integration really takes – and what actually drives impact where it matters.

Want some inspiration?
I tailor all my talks ot my audience, because I don't believe in one-size-fits-all. But for inspiration, here are some topics I love speaking about:
Integration beats implementation: Why technical success is not a guarantee for impact
I'll share what I've learned over many years and painful lessons in AI: AI will only deliver impact if it is seamlessly and deliberately integrated across 4 dimensions: strategy, operations, culture and people. Most organizations implement technology but fail to integrate it - and that's where transformation dies. In this keynote, I walk you through a framework that helps you understand if you've ticked all the boxes needed so that AI becomes an established contributor to your organization. No theory. Just hard-won insights from years at the enterprise AI frontlines.
Best for: C-Level, transformation leaders
AI impact, where are you? When your AI ROI fails to materialize
"We saved 10,000 hours!" ... yet still no ROI? In this contrarian keynote, I deconstruct the most common AI ROI myths: Why "hours saved" is a vanity metric, why many projects are stopped just before reaching real ROI, and how to distinguish activity from actual impact using a practical measurement framework. Direct, uncomfortable, and guaranteed to be different from the usual "success stories."
Best for: Leaders frustrated with AI promises, budget owners
Why complaining is not a solution: The Pragmatic Approach to the EU AI Act
The EU AI Act is here, and complaining won't help. In this keynote, I show how you can turn regulatory requirements into better AI processes rather than bureaucratic overhead. With frameworks from highly regulated pharma environments and practical steps to translate Act requirements into competitive advantage. Austrian direct, pragmatic instead of panicked, without regulatory romanticism.
Best for: European companies navigating EU AI Act, compliance + innovation teams
