Kevin Paczkowski

Kevin Paczkowski

I solve the $2M problems that happen when brilliant technology meets confused humans.

Over the past decade, I've built AI platforms that generate $5M ARR, transformed failing products into 340% growth stories, and led 50,000+ user migrations with zero downtime. But here's what I've really learned: the biggest technology challenges aren't technical at all. They're psychological.

With my Master's in Social Data Science from Oxford, I've spent my career at the intersection where human behavior meets enterprise technology. I've worked across healthcare, finance, and global consulting at Accenture, consistently discovering that the same patterns emerge everywhere: smart people make predictable, irrational decisions about technology adoption.
I'm the product leader who gets called in when expensive AI implementations sit unused, when teams resist change despite obvious benefits, or when leadership needs someone who can translate between C-suite vision and developer reality. My "human first AI" framework is now adopted by 3 Fortune 500 companies because it works with human psychology rather than against it.
My superpower is turning complex technological chaos into revenue generating clarity. I've reduced patient wait times from 48 hours to 4 hours, cut compliance review time by 87%, and helped teams embrace AI tools they initially feared. I understand both the technical possibilities (Python, TensorFlow, cloud architecture) and the human realities (cognitive bias, change resistance, team dynamics) of making technology actually work.

Whether I'm speaking about AI manipulation psychology, the neuroscience of developer attention, or why brilliant teams make terrible technology decisions, I bring data driven insights combined with real world war stories from the trenches of enterprise transformation.
I
believe the future belongs to leaders who understand that every technology problem is fundamentally a people problem. And people problems are endlessly fascinating to solve.

Tobias Goecke (Göcke)

Tobias Goecke (Göcke)

After studying Chemical Engineering at TU Dresden and earning my degree as a Dipl.-Chem.-Ing., I quickly discovered my entrepreneurial spirit. During my studies, I developed the web-based "ChemTics" toolkit and, together with a fellow student, won the ChemCar competition in 2012. These achievements laid the foundation for my career, which led me to work as a research associate at TU Dresden and as a researcher at Lonza in Switzerland.

In 2014, I founded SupraTix GmbH with the support of an EXIST start-up grant. As Managing Director, I lead a company that develops AI-based solutions, cloud software, and platforms like SupraWorx, SimulateOS, supraAgent and openReactor - creating digital ecosystems for process optimization, learning and working. Additionally, I serve as Interim CEO for two spin-offs focused on Cyber Resilience and Course Compose.

My drive for innovation extends beyond business development into research. I have published several scientific papers and hold a patent for a method of adaptive and optimizing process control. This invention enhances the efficiency of chemical processes by integrating multiple subprocess simulations.

My leadership style is defined by customer orientation, direct communication, and a collaborative approach. I firmly believe that digitalization projects should not follow a "We’re building an app" mindset but instead focus on delivering lasting value for end users. That’s why we involve our customers as partners in every development process. Regular feedback allows us to create tailored solutions that perfectly align with their needs. This open, hierarchy-free work culture fosters trust and strong team cohesion - reflected in outstanding employee ratings.

Innovation thrives on reflection, continuous learning, and the courage to embrace change. That’s why I advocate for bootstrapped growth, free from external investors. This independence enables us to fully pursue our vision of equal opportunities, diversity, and a global knowledge community -actively shaping the digital future.
