I bring AI to where it creates real value — as a strategist who builds. Currently on two fronts: I guide companies through their AI transformation — and in parallel, I'm building medishift as Co-Founder, an agentic-AI platform for medical practices (already used by 100+ practices). Before that, I spent over 10 years building and scaling B2B products: → As Founding Product Manager, took an InsurTech product from idea to market (€1M+ revenue) → As Product Director, scaled the portfolio from €8M to €20M and led 20+ people → As COO of a bootstrapped B2B SaaS (70,000+ users), built the product and marketing teams and owned a holistic growth strategy: +40% revenue in 3 years → Strategy roots in international management consulting (Arkwright), 15+ projects across banking & insurance I'm also Founder & Host of AI Tinkerers Hamburg — a community of 500+ builders who'd rather tinker than talk. Always happy to connect around AI, product, and transformation — feel free to reach out.
I help B2B companies turn AI from hype into measurable value — as a strategist who also builds. I work hands-on with leadership teams, from honest assessment to working prototypes that prove value before big budgets are committed. How I support companies: → AI readiness & as-is assessment — C-level interviews, workshops, on-site visits → Strategy & roadmap — a multi-year target picture with a prioritised AI use-case portfolio → Hands-on prototyping — building prototypes that validate the highest-impact use cases Example — B2B wholesaler (€60M+ revenue): Guided an enterprise-wide AI transformation: as-is analysis, 3-year target picture, and a working prototype of an AI-first ERP system. Outcome: a concrete digitalisation project and AI use cases defined for the next two years.
