AI Implementation Lead (Freelance / Fractional) | LLM rollouts at scale | Delivery & Adoption

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

About

I help companies move from AI experiments to AI-first operating models. What I deliver: agentic systems in production, company-wide Claude rollouts, internal skill ecosystems and the organizational change that makes it stick. ------ AI transformation delivers real wins at every level - better tools, faster workflows, Claude in the hands of your workforce all create immediate value. But the companies that will win the next decade are the ones that go further and rebuild their operating model around AI. The distinction that matters is between applying AI and building AI-first. Applying AI puts better tools on top of the same foundation. That creates real local wins and short-term gains - and for many organisations, that's already a meaningful step forward. But it doesn't compound underneath. Building AI-first redesigns the core: new operating models, agentic-ready codebases, workflows where business talks to an AI that challenges the idea before it becomes a ticket. You're not just running faster. You're training the muscle. The winners of the next decade will be the organisations that rebuild their core so every new AI capability makes the next one easier to add. That's the work I focus on - designing AI-first operating models, building internal skill ecosystems, and moving organizations past treating AI as a tool toward treating it as a foundation. ------ Currently available 16-24 hours/week for additional clients.
