Open to projects, interim mandates and permanent roles

I take AI and product organizations from pilot to governed operation: clear product ownership, EU AI Act-ready governance and processes people follow day to day. As interim lead or as sparring partner.

Every initiative passes the same gates. Not every initiative should go live.

Trained in political science, working in AI products today. I make sure AI initiatives get an owner, clear rules and a way into production. I read regulation as a product requirement, not as an obstacle.

  • Introduced a stage-gate intake for new product ideas from scratch
  • Established a monthly AI forum with all team leads
  • AI-supported test automation replaced manual regression checks
  • Refocused the portfolio on OEM data, master data and partner analytics

Pilots multiply, tools get bought, and nobody decides what goes live, who is accountable and what the EU AI Act requires. I put structure around it: one intake, clear gates, clear owners.

  1. Review & sparring

    A short, focused analysis of portfolio, processes and governance gaps. You get a prioritized action list your own team can execute.

  2. Interim ownership

    I take over product or governance ownership inside your team, with clear goals and regular reporting to management.

  3. Build & hand over

    I build structures, processes and documentation that work without me, then hand them over to your team, documented.

Scope, duration and terms are agreed after a first conversation.
