I am a senior AI business consultant and executive thought leader who helps leaders turn intent into funded value. Drawing on more than 25+ years in transformation, he coaches boards and C-suites to move beyond trend-chasing and build repeatable systems for AI success: pick problems that matter, integrate into the operating model, keep humans in the loop, govern with transparency, and measure value in real time.

My approach is business-first and no tool worship, no jargon. I partner with leadership teams to create a focused portfolio, stage-gates that “kill the hype,” and executive scorecards that show payback, IRR, and capacity unlocked. He helps organizations define new leadership roles for the AI era, stand up skilling paths, and align culture and incentives so adoption sticks.

I make AI decisions board-ready with clear strategy, visible risk controls, accountable owners, and results the P&L can see.

„Mit einer Menge Fantasie…“ ist mein Lieblingspruch aus einer Folge Spongebob.
Er und Patrick erleben in einem Pappkarton die tollsten Geschichten und haben Spaß ohne Ende. Thaddäus sitzt nur griesgrämig daneben und kann will es gar nicht wahrhaben – bis er es am Ende auch probiert. 🤩

Mich treibt das an. Ich sehe in Kundenwünschen nicht nur leidige Anforderungen sondern freue mich auf die Herausforderung der Umsetzung. Und manchmal braucht es eben dazu etwas Fantasie zum »Um-die-Ecke« denken.

Seit April '22 ist die Ukulele ein fester Bestandteil meiner Freizeit. Auch meine Arbeitskollegen beglücke ich mit Geburtstagsständchen. 🎶

Als Principal bei der PRODATO unterstütze ich unsere Kunden mit wunderschönen Reports (Jaspersoft), modernen Datenbanktechnologien (Couchbase – auch als Managed Service) und moderner Datenvirtualisierung (Denodo).
Und das große Ganze habe ich natürlich auch im Blick.

Zuvor war ich wissenschaftlicher Assistent am Lehrstuhl für Informatik 6 (Datenmanagement) an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Ich promovierte dort zum Thema »Datenqualität für Testdaten — Eine Nutzbarkeitsanalyse für Testdatensammlungen«.

Je me suis essayé à beaucoup de sports collectifs. Petit, c’était le football ! Puis, un célèbre numéro 23 m’a attiré, entraîné vers le basket, puis ce fut le volley. J’aimais la beauté de ces sports et surtout leurs ballets de sauts. En déménageant à Toulouse pour des études de Chimie, j’ai eu un vrai coup de cœur pour ce qui est resté ma grande passion : le rugby. C’est aussi, à Toulouse que j’ai découvert le handball, sport roi dans les universités françaises et qui partage avec le rugby, la même recherche de l’intervalle.

Les sports individuels ne m’ont jamais attiré, j’aimais partager les victoires, les défaites, la difficulté d’un entraînement, atteindre quelque chose que je ne pourrai viser seul. Certes, j’aimais m’entraîner seul, acquérir plus de technique, répéter les gestes pour plus de maîtrise, plus de réflexes mais en pensant à l’aventure, aux résultats d’une équipe.

Cela me guide encore beaucoup aujourd’hui dans ma vie de coach. J’accorde beaucoup d’importance à l’équipe qui est au service d’un produit, d’un service : beaucoup d’importance aux interactions au sein de l’équipe, au cadre mis en place ou à mettre en place.
