I work to help clients to unlock the business potential of exponential technologies (AI, Cloud, IoT, and Software). I want to connect with people to communicate, learn, and grow.

I am fully committed to the digital transformation of businesses, and I anticipate two major shifts occurring within the current decade until 2030. First, every company will become a technology company, with even manufacturing firms adopting AI, sensors, and robotics. This will require a shift in the way we approach business strategy, innovation, and operations. Secondly, the distinction between strategy and IT will continue to blur as IT becomes an increasingly critical component of value creation in companies. I am excited to be part of this evolution, and I’m dedicated to helping organizations navigate these changes and capitalize on the opportunities presented by new technologies.

I have successfully managed more than 15 digital transformation, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and software development projects throughout my career. This hands-on experience has given me the skills and expertise needed to develop digitization strategies and create data-driven business models.

I have also successfully navigated my clients around the proof-of-concept trap and industrialized AI and IoT solutions on an enterprise scale. My expertise and experience will be invaluable to any organization looking to undertake successful digital transformation initiatives.

I have developed strong skills in leading and managing international project teams with over 30 members. My leadership responsibility has extended to managing up to 15 employees at once. I possess specific skills in utilizing sensor, machine data, ERP (e.g., SAP), edge computing, cloud, and AI to implement innovative solutions successfully.

My industry focus is in Industrial Manufacturing, Consumer Goods, and Automotive, and I have experience in understanding the challenges of digital transformation in the the industry. My goal is to continue to help businesses in these industries overcome these challenges and navigate the digital landscape to thrive in the digital age.

I’m the founder and leader of the worldwide BearingPoint “IoT & Industry 4.0 Community”, where I have built a network of experts and facilitated the sharing of knowledge and best practices in IoT and Industry 4.0. Through this community, I have been able to stay on the forefront of new developments in the field and leverage this knowledge to help businesses navigate the complex landscape of digital transformation.
