Lorenz Wackerle

The scalable impact of IT solutions drew Lorenz toward completing a B.Sc. in Business Information Systems, which provided him with a strong foundation in data science, IoT and IT strategy. This expertise allowed him to drive digital transformation initiatives within Deutsche Telekom, one of Europe’s largest telecommunications companies. However, he came to realise that much more is theoretically technologically possible than is applied in companies or society at large. Therefore, he completed a Master of Studies in Social Innovation at Cambridge Judge Business School to complement his technical expertise, focusing on change management and social dynamics in innovation.

As the AI & Innovation Lead for both Procurement and Real Estate Management at Deutsche Telekom, Lorenz bridges cutting-edge AI technologies with strategic business objectives. Lorenz leads cross-functional teams to develop intelligent solutions that improve efficiency, align with sustainability goals, and address the needs of diverse stakeholders, ensuring Deutsche Telekom's innovations are both advanced and socially responsible.

Na co dzień pomagam producentom przechodzić przez proces transformacji cyfrowej, dzięki czemu zwiększają oni bezpieczeństwo swoich produktów, podnoszą efektywność operacyjną parków maszynowych i lepiej wykorzystują potencjał pracowniczy.

Wieloletnie doświadczenie, studia na Wydziale Automatyki, Elektroniki i Informatyki (AEI) Politechniki Śląskiej i ciągła ciekawość skierowały mnie na tory edukacji. Jako członek globalnej organizacji – Forbes Technology Council – mam dostęp do aktualnych badań i wiedzy międzynarodowych specjalistów z branży. Aktywnie dzielę się także swoimi spostrzeżeniami na łamach Forbes.com.

Jako mentor fundacji Youth Business Poland staram się natomiast wspierać początkujących przedsiębiorców, a jako autor książki „15 kroków do zakupu systemu informatycznego” – ułatwiać zakładom produkcyjnym proces zakupu rozwiązań informatycznych.

Ponadto prowadzę kanał YouTube Digitalizuj.pl oraz blog AdrianStelmach.com, na których poruszam między innymi takie tematy, jak:

▪️ Zarządzanie zmianą technologiczną w organizacji.

▪️ Proces zakupu nowych technologii w zakładzie produkcyjnym.

▪️ Pokonywanie wyzwań w projektach cyfryzacji.

▪️ Rozwój, struktura i kondycja polskiego przemysłu.

▪️ Znaczenie przemysłu dla gospodarki i rola ESG w kreowaniu misji organizacji.

▪️ Wpływ nowych technologii (w tym AI) na zatrudnienie.

Jestem przekonany, że przyszłość przemysłu produkcyjnego leży w pełnej digitalizacji, przejrzystości procesów i zrównoważonym rozwoju. Dlatego jako założyciel i CEO explitia rozwijam oprogramowanie wspierające zakłady produkcyjne m.in. w: ▪️ Zmniejszaniu kosztów operacyjnych. ▪️ Optymalizacji pracy. ▪️ Wzmocnieniu bezpieczeństwa. ▪️ Poprawie jakości produkcji. W pracy zwracam uwagę m.in. na rozwiązania wspierające transparentność produktu. Dzięki czemu producenci mogą zarządzać parkiem maszynowym w sposób elastyczny i bardziej odporny na zmiany oraz oferować lepsze i tańsze wyroby.

Automatyzacja przepływu danych jest natomiast fundamentem do wdrożenia wielu nowoczesnych rozwiązań technologicznych. Sprawia również, że ludzie mogą koncentrować się na bardziej wartościowych działaniach i maksymalnie wykorzystać swój potencjał. Prowadzę klientów przez proces transformacji cyfrowej, oferując: doradztwo, szkolenia, pomoc w usprawnieniu procesów biznesowych, integrację danych z urządzeń oraz personalizację rozwiązań informatycznych.

Billy Hopkins

Billy Hopkins

I joined the Royal Air Force at 20 and served for 8 years as a Communication Engineer, during this time I completed multiple tours of duty including Afghanistan and supporting the conflict in Libya as well as some more sunnier countries during peace time.

I was part of a team that would deploy anywhere in the world and have voice and data set up within 6 hours. Carrying out a similar function to a Network Engineer in the civilian world.

After I left the RAF I worked as a Network Engineer for a civilian company supporting military naval vessels with voice and data capabilities while deployed and at home in the UK.

Next I joined CGI and found myself working in the cloud, teaching myself all about Microsoft Azure and how to write JSON, eventually moving to Terraform as our chosen deployment language. I enjoyed cloud computing so much I decided to specialize in it, and I now work for Fujitsu as a Lead Technical Architect.

As well as my IT career I have also have a love for fitness and boxing, starting at 10 years old and having 35 fights, eventually being chosen for an England Select Vs Wales as the highlight of my sporting experience.

With that passion for fitness also comes a desire to know the science behind how the body works and more recently how the mind works, this led me to setting up my own Fitness, Nutrition and sports psychology coaching business as a hobby.

I have been fortunate to work with Professional boxers, a world champion powerlifter and provided wellness sessions to large brands like Hugo Boss and Colliers.

I am particularly passionate about promoting positive mental health after having my own challenges and overcoming them, I discovered that focusing on kindness, empathy and self-awareness is a superpower and not a sign of weakness, and I believe a greater tool for success than just focusing on technical skills.
