── About

Where strategy meets intelligence.

For more than a decade I have helped some of Europe’s most demanding financial institutions translate ambition into measurable outcomes — building mobile banking apps, leading agile transformations, and lately, architecting the AI capabilities that will define the next decade of finance.

I work at the intersection of executive strategy and applied technology. The work ranges from defining a group-wide AI strategy with C-level stakeholders to coaching squads on the tools that quietly compound productivity by 30% — sometimes 40%.

Fluent in English and German. Based between Berlin and Zurich.
