From Physics to People

Forget the stereotype of the physicist in corduroys; I thrive on working with people. Physics taught me systems thinking, and humans are the most complex systems of all.

Fifteen years ago in Japan, my mentor taught me the concept of "Paying Forward"—passing value to the next person rather than paying it back. After a career spanning global leadership roles, deep dives into Agile and Lean, and managing the transformation of 30+ production sites, it is time to pay it forward.

I see a disconnect: firms stuck in Agile/Lean transformations because production lacks flexibility, or efficient factories slowed down by sluggish R&D. Above all, I see leaders struggling with growing complexity.

My expertise sits in the "magic triangle" of Agile, Lean, and Leadership. Trusted by industry leaders like SBB or SAP, I help leaders and organizations navigate their specific growth journeys.

Offline: I’m a tennis club chairman, athlete, Heavy Metal enthusiast, father and reader of epic fantasy.

I advise executives on how AI and autonomous agents will reshape organizations over the next five years—and what leaders must do now to stay ahead. My work focuses less on today’s tools and more on the trajectory: how agents evolve from copilots into operators, how decision latency collapses, how cost structures rebalance, and where new risks emerge as autonomy increases.

As a speaker with Summit AI Consulting, I help leadership teams develop a clear mental model of where AI is going, how quickly it’s arriving, and which organizational bets matter most. My talks connect AI’s technical direction to board-level implications: operating leverage, governance, security, workforce design, and competitive moats in an agent-driven economy.

I translate complex AI shifts into concrete executive decisions—what to centralize vs. decentralize, what to automate vs. retain, and how to prepare teams, controls, and incentives for a world where software increasingly acts on behalf of the business. Attendees leave with clarity, strategic confidence, and a roadmap for preparing—not reacting—to what’s next.
