It’s important for me to work in an environment where technological innovation and business thinking go hand in hand. I see great potential for mid-sized companies to strategically use AI tools to boost their efficiency and remain competitive while putting the employee at the center. An environment that fosters creativity and collaboration is essential to fully harness the benefits of Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models.

What Motivates Me
My journey as an entrepreneur and consultant has inspired me to always think outside the box and explore new ways to unite my passion for technology and people. I see great potential for the targeted use of AI tools in companies. Working with start-ups and leading tech companies like Google and Slack has shown me how crucial it is to operate at the intersection of technology and business – where innovations are born.
