🚀 New Role, New Mission 🚀   After around 2.5 years as Expertise/Team Lead in Data Protection Advice and about a year as Project Lead for AI & Innovation, I’m stepping into a new role: I’ll be taking on the responsibility as Expertise/Team Lead AI & Innovation.   In this position, I’ll be focusing on how we can make AI innovation tangible within the bank, intelligently automate processes, and integrate artificial intelligence in a meaningful, secure, and sustainable way. It’s not just about technology – it’s about culture, responsibility, and future-readiness.   💬 A sincere thank you to Katrin Drumm and Fabian Stahl – for your trust, dedication, support, encouragement and inspiring collaboration. ❤️ Special thanks to Sarah Egidos Martinez – my partner in crime at ING, for always being there with energy, ideas, and a shared vision. 🙏 A thank you to my previous dream team in Data Protection – Doreen Mehnert, Jacqueline Gorny, Katrin Weber, Marwin Thomas, Oleg Kwon – for your tireless dedication, the many fun moments, and our shared successes. ✨ Now I’m looking forward to working with my new amazing team in AI & Innovation – Bastian Altmann, Alexander Hirche, Milan Cikovic, Maximilian Außenhofer – to fresh impulses and a shared journey into the future.   💡 Innovation starts in the mind – and becomes reality through collaboration.   #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #AIGovernance #EUAiAct #Leadership #Automation #ResponsibleAI #EmergingTechnologies #Banking #INGGermany #ING
