I believe the next competitive edge isn’t AI itself, it’s the organisation around it. Feedback loops, governance, and continuous adaptation across people, process, and technology.

My Story
With over two decades in the technology sector, I focus on AI-augmented delivery, platform engineering, and enterprise evolution. As Group Chief AI Officer (CAIO) at Zühlke, I shape the global strategy and service portfolio for AI-Augmented Delivery & Platform, AI integration, platform engineering, and cloud solutions. My work redefines how organizations innovate, adapt, and scale in industries such as finance, insurance, cybersecurity, energy, healthcare, and aerospace.

In a world reshaped by Artificial Intelligence (AI), I believe the key to resilience and competitiveness lies in becoming AI-augmented, AI-enabled, and ultimately AI-native: a new operating model driven by feedback loops, intelligent workflows, and self-learning systems that place customer success at the center. I empower companies to continuously create value by harmonizing people, processes, technology, and AI.

I began my journey at Zühlke more than two decades ago, evolving from software engineer and architect to trusted consultant, and now to my leadership role as Chief AI Officer. My passion for value creation through automation and quality led me from engineering into the DevOps movement and further into the forefront of enterprise transformation.

I organize the monthly DevOps Meetup in Zürich and serve as president of DevOpsDays Zürich, an annual conference within the global DevOps movement. I share my insights via my YouTube channel, with over 500 videos, and through well over 30 blog articles focused on DevOps, architecture, leadership, and transformation.

My commitment to thought leadership and education extends to my role as a lecturer in DevOps leadership, agile methodologies, digital transformation, and enterprise architecture at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. I champion a culture of innovation and agility, helping enterprises evolve into adaptive systems capable of thriving in complex, fast-changing environments.

My work has been recognized through several awards and honors, reflecting my contributions to technology leadership and digital transformation.

Keil Wilson is the Software Operations Manager for the City of Lincoln and has spent more than 20 years in information technology helping organizations build better software, better teams, and better leaders. His experience spans software development, infrastructure, operations, leadership, and just enough “other duties as assigned” to make him dangerous in almost any IT conversation.

A longtime Agile practitioner and coach, Keil has led Agile transformations not only in software development, but throughout IT and across business operations, where teams discovered that sticky notes and continuous improvement aren’t just for developers.

Keil enjoys working with customers, partners, and teams to find innovative technology solutions that help organizations tackle their most daunting challenges. Whether coaching teams, mentoring leaders, or speaking on topics ranging from Agile leadership and organizational change to career development and youth sports coaching, his goal is always the same: helping people grow by sharing practical ideas and hands-on lessons they can put to work right away.

The views expressed during these talks are Keil’s own and do not necessarily reflect those of the City of Lincoln. The really good ideas should probably be shared with them, though.
