Post by CeramTec – The Ceramic Experts

Some companies just talk about digital transformation. At CeramTec, Pawel Astankow is one of the people actually building it. As part of our digital transformation team, Pawel guides our business units through the journey of automation and AI-driven solutions. His mission? Making sure CeramTec doesn't just keep up with the pace of innovation – but stays ahead of it. What fuels him: being confronted with the latest technologies every single day – and being the one to introduce them to our colleagues. In a world where AI evolves by the second, most people feel the pressure. Pawel feels the excitement. For him, the unknown isn't a challenge to fear – it's a challenge to embrace. And that mindset is exactly what drives both his own growth and CeramTec's. That same appetite for the unfamiliar carries into his personal life too. Outside of work, Pawel stays active through sports – and when he really wants to push himself, there's PowerPoint Karaoke: presenting slides you've never seen before. Thinking on your feet, adapting in real time – sounds a lot like his day job, actually 😉
