On paper, risk management is a clean matrix of probabilities and impacts. In reality, it is a series of impossible decisions made under maximum uncertainty. Carsten Marmulla has spent decades navigating this reality, combining academic rigor with pragmatism learned from the "school of hard knocks".

As a Senior Trusted Advisor and the founder of the cybersecurity consulting boutique carmasec, he translates cyber resilience from a technical challenge into an executive survival strategy.

Through his roles as a vCISO, IT security manager, and strategic advisor for large enterprises, Carsten has guided numerous organizations through complex digital transformations and risk mitigation programs.

He challenges the dangerous illusion that green dashboards and standard certifications equal true security. Instead, he uses his trademark "plain talk" (Klartext) to bridge the communication gap between technical teams and the C-suite.

Beyond his consulting work, Carsten actively mentors cybersecurity startups, shaping the future of the industry.

On stage, he combines the hard-won insights of an entrepreneur with the strategic depth of a management consultant, giving decision-makers the tools they need to build truly resilient organizations.

I am an AI Transformation Manager at SFS Group, a Swiss-based global industrial manufacturer operating in 50+ countries, with over 13,000 employees and CHF 3B+ in annual revenue.

After 18 years in executive banking and technology leadership, I transitioned into applied AI by teaching myself Python and moving from managing large organizations to designing and scaling AI systems inside real enterprises. Today, I lead company-wide AI adoption — from strategic use case selection and prototyping to production deployment, governance, and measurable business impact.

In parallel, I am an Applied AI Lecturer and Trainer at Digicomp Academy, where I teach professionals how to move from AI theory to practical, production-ready systems. This dual role — practitioner and educator — allows me to translate complex AI concepts into clear, actionable frameworks that resonate with both technical and leadership audiences.

My work focuses on enterprise-grade AI:
AI that survives compliance, legacy infrastructure, security constraints, organizational resistance, and economic reality. I design AI solutions embedded into core business and IT processes — not demos, not pilots, not hype.

On stage, I speak about what happens after the hype:

how leaders move from AI experimentation to operating capability,

why most AI initiatives fail at scale,

how to build resilient, auditable, and governable AI systems,

and how to align AI strategy with execution, accountability, and ROI.

I bridge technology and leadership, helping organizations turn AI potential into reliable, scalable, and teachable systems that work beyond the demo.
