Vienna, Vienna, Austria

About

My mission is to help enterprises, consulting firms, system integrators, and software providers build trustworthy AI solutions on Graphwise’s Semantic Backbone. As Director, Strategic Partnerships / Product Manager for Recomentor at Graphwise, I work at the intersection of Compliance Intelligence, ESG, Semantic AI, GraphRAG, and enterprise knowledge architecture. I help partners turn complex regulations such as CSRD, EU Taxonomy, DORA, climate risk, and product conformity requirements into connected, traceable, and audit-ready intelligence. I led the development of Recomentor, Graphwise’s AI ESG and Compliance solution, combining four roles: ESG Specialist, Product Manager, Product Owner, and Project Manager. This experience gave me a practical understanding of both the regulatory pain points and the technical requirements needed to build scalable, explainable, and business-ready AI solutions. Today, my focus is on building strategic partnerships with organizations that want to create or strengthen compliance, ESG, GRC, regulatory intelligence, or risk management solutions using Graphwise’s technology. Our Semantic Backbone helps connect regulations, policies, controls, risks, documents, and enterprise data into one governed layer that makes AI more accurate, explainable, and reliable. Whether you are a consulting partner looking to differentiate your AI-GRC offering, a software provider wanting to embed regulatory intelligence into your platform, or an enterprise team building custom Agentic AI solutions, I can help you explore how Graphwise can support your roadmap. Let’s connect if you want to build solutions that are scalable, traceable, and trusted by design.
