Summary
I support people in leadership roles to stay effective under complex conditions – through structure, self-leadership, clarity, and a robust execution system. As an AI integration manager, senior consultant, and train-the-trainer, I combine military-inspired leadership principles with strategic execution and smart AI usage.
Empowering people to stay in control of their thinking, decision-making, and actions – with clarity, a system, AI support, and a bulletproof mission mindset. I help experts, leaders, and teams effectively integrate artificial intelligence into their daily work – not as a gimmick, but as a concrete productivity lever. To do this, I translate complex technology into simple, tangible applications: We identify friction points such as tool overload, trust gaps, or workflow bottlenecks and build practical AI onboarding processes. Through pilot programs, templates, training sessions, and on-the-job coaching, we create an efficient, AI-supported daily routine that runs – not paralyzes.
I work as an equal partner, ask questions others don’t, and build structures where otherwise only impulses would remain. With my 5-System framework, I combine self-leadership, business strategy, and AI integration – for leadership in change processes that delivers results. And for organizations that want to stay future-ready with AI, clarity, and responsibility.
