About
I actually studied political science, Governance and Public Policy in Passau. That sounds far away from AI products, but it isn't: in both cases the question is who decides, by which rules, and how you make sure everyone actually sticks to them.
During my studies I worked in research and portfolio management at DJE Kapital AG. At Dishbrain GmbH I first coordinated projects and later took responsibility for technology and operations. I came into my most recent engagement through a small automation mandate. Step by step, that turned into responsibility for seven products and a team in Germany and Vietnam. Not through a title, but because things got delivered.
What I learned along the way: AI initiatives rarely fail on the technology. They fail because nobody decides what goes live. That is where I come in: one clear path for new ideas, clear owners, documentation people can find, and teams that actually use AI in their daily work.
I am not a developer and I don't pretend to be one. My strength is translating between management, engineering and the business, and the patience to build structures that keep running without me.
I also co-founded Observer Shield, focused on governance for AI agents in regulated environments, and spoke at the AI & Copilot Summit 2026 on AI governance, prompt injection and supply-chain attacks.

- Gate 1
Owner before tool
Every initiative needs a person who decides. Tools come second.
- Gate 2
Gates, not gut feeling
Clear criteria for what goes live. Saying no early is cheaper than fixing late.
- Gate 3
Built to hand over
What I build has to work without me: documented, understood, owned by your team.
