Roman Sachse started programming by accident, shortly after founding his first company, when he realised how much fun it was to build the things he was working on himself. Twenty-five years later he still thinks the hard part of software is people and communication, which is why he studied Cognitive Science before Computer Science.

At Hellmann Worldwide Logistics he was the tech lead of the move from one big transport management system to autonomous product teams. Today he is VP of Digital Product Excellence for the road division and works on the system those teams live in: how a 150-year-old logistics company learns to create digital value, and what changes now that AI makes building cheap. He also builds Hellmann's AI enablement programme.

I am an IT Director working at the intersection of enterprise delivery and applied AI research. My focus is building practical, repeatable ways to use GenAI safely and effectively in large, regulated organizations - especially where legacy systems, complex architectures, and high stakes reliability are the norm. My talks translate research into patterns teams can adopt: AI-assisted reverse engineering and documentation, modernization risk reduction, human-in-the-loop quality gates, and measurement frameworks that keep projects honest. I enjoy speaking for community colleges, meetups, conferences, podcasts, and public forums. Audience members leave with clear mental models, actionable steps, and a realistic view of what works (and what does not) in production.
