AI Platform Lead | Data & AI Strategist | Agentic Systems Advocate

With more than 20 years of experience in data, analytics, and digital transformation, I have spent my career helping organizations turn information into measurable business value. My foundation lies in data analytics, data platforms, and enterprise-scale data governance, where I have led teams, platforms, and strategic initiatives in highly regulated environments.

Over the past years, my focus has evolved from building data-driven organizations to enabling AI-driven organizations. Today, I lead the intersection of Data Platforms and AI Platforms within the Swiss health insurance industry, helping shape the foundations for trusted, scalable, and governed AI adoption.

Key Areas of Expertise

- AI Platform Leadership
Leading the evolution from traditional data platforms toward enterprise AI platforms, enabling organizations to operationalize Generative AI, Agentic AI, and intelligent automation at scale.

- AI Governance & Responsible AI
Designing governance frameworks that balance innovation, security, compliance, and transparency in one of the most regulated industries. My work focuses on ensuring AI solutions remain trustworthy, auditable, and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.

- Agentic Development & AI Engineering
Specialized in designing and implementing enterprise-grade AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework, combining modern software engineering practices with AI-native architectures. My focus includes multi-agent systems, orchestration patterns, identity propagation, and secure agent-to-agent collaboration.

- Data & AI Platforms
Deep expertise in Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Data Mesh, and enterprise data platforms. I believe that future AI capabilities can only succeed when built upon strong foundations of data quality, governance, interoperability, and platform thinking.

- Leadership & Transformation
Leading multidisciplinary teams through technological change, fostering innovation cultures, and helping organizations navigate the transition from data-centric to AI-centric operating models.

Vision

I believe the next generation of enterprise systems will be built around intelligent agents that act as active participants within business processes. Data products will evolve into intelligent, interactive products capable of reasoning, collaborating, and creating value autonomously.

My mission is to help organizations build the platforms, governance models, and engineering capabilities required to make this transformation secure, scalable, and sustainable.
