I’m a tech entrepreneur and AI builder based in Zurich, where strategy meets code.
After 18 years in executive banking, I taught myself Python and transitioned from managing large organizations to building AI systems that run on logic, not hierarchy. Over the past three years, I’ve delivered more than 20 AI projects across healthcare, banking, industrial automation, and customer experience - designing solutions that actually survive contact with reality.

My mission is to build client-centric AI factories - scalable agentic systems that transform how businesses operate, scale, and compete. I focus on practical AI engineering: modular architectures, automation orchestration, and measurable ROI.

On stage, I talk about what happens when AI leaves the lab — the financial bubble, the architecture of resilient AI systems, client-centric implementation, and hard-earned lessons from real AI failures.

I bridge strategy and execution - turning AI potential into reliable, auditable business systems that deliver beyond the demo.
