AI Strategy, Automation & Enablement · Vienna

Turn AI ideas into
adopted systems.

I help teams find the right use cases, build the workflows behind them, and create enough clarity for people to actually use the result.

Approach

From idea to
implementation.

I work across business context, technical delivery and change work so an initiative keeps moving after the first workshop.

STRATEGYFind the right AI opportunity.
IMPLEMENTBuild the workflow that can hold up.
ADOPTTrain, document and anchor usage.
UNDERSTANDClarify process, owners and friction.
What I help with

Services &
Expertise

For teams that want AI and automation to leave the slide deck, get built properly, and hold up inside real operations.

01

AI Strategy & Use Cases

You probably already know AI should be somewhere in your roadmap. The harder question is where, and whether the effort is actually worth it. I help you cut through the noise, identify the use cases that make sense for your situation, build the business case, and map a realistic path to implementation.

Good for

Companies starting their AI journey, or teams that have experimented but have not found traction yet.

Output

Prioritized use case list, business case framing, implementation roadmap.

02

AI & Automation Trainings

Workshops and training programs designed to give teams, from leadership to operators, the mental models to think with AI and not just use tools. The goal is not a demo of what is possible. It is building the capability to keep improving after I am gone.

Good for

Leadership teams, operational departments, and companies rolling out AI tools who want adoption to last.

Output

Custom workshop format, reference materials, follow-up support.

03

AI & Automation Implementation

From validated use case to running system. I scope, prototype, and manage the delivery and stay involved through the point where it is actually being used day to day, not just handed over and forgotten.

Good for

Teams that know what they want to build and need someone to get it done, not just oversee it.

Output

Live system, documentation, training, adoption check-in.

Innovation & Change

The hardest part of AI adoption is often not the technology, but the organization around it. Misaligned stakeholders, unclear ownership, processes that were never designed with AI in mind. I work on that layer too, aligning decision-makers, redesigning workflows, and making sure what gets built actually gets embedded.

Good for

Larger teams where the organizational layer is the real bottleneck.

Output

Stakeholder alignment plan, process redesign, adoption metrics.

When is this the right fit?

When is this the right fit?

You are probably in the right place if one of these sounds familiar:

  • You have put AI on the roadmap but cannot figure out where to actually start.
  • You have run pilots that worked technically but nobody uses them six months later.
  • You need someone who understands both the strategy and the build, not two separate engagements.
  • You are a smaller team without an internal AI function, but the decisions still need to be made properly.

It is probably not the right fit if you need a large delivery team or a compliance audit without implementation. In those cases I am happy to point you toward the right people.

How engagements work

How we can
work together

Most engagements fall into one of these formats. They are starting points, not rigid packages.

AI Readiness Audit

2 weeks

We map where you are, score the top opportunities by effort and impact, and produce a one-page decision brief. A good first step if you are not sure where to start.

Use Case Sprint

4 weeks

We pick one specific AI or automation opportunity, validate it, build a working prototype, and determine whether it is worth scaling. Fixed scope, clear output.

Build & Adopt Engagement

2 to 3 months

The full arc, from scoped use case to live system to trained team. This is the engagement that closes the gap between a pilot and everyday use.

Fractional AI Officer

Monthly retainer

I act as your embedded AI lead, sitting in on relevant decisions, guiding implementation partners, and keeping the strategy tied to what is actually being built. Good for companies that need senior AI judgment without the full-time hire.

Every engagement starts with a conversation. I will tell you honestly if I am the right fit or not.

Some examples

Examples from
real work

Specific enough to be credible, anonymized enough to keep client names private.

Operations automation · B2B services · 60-person team

Manual reporting reduced from 15 hours to under 2

A manual reporting process was consuming around 15 hours per week across the operations team. In a four-week engagement, we scoped, built, and deployed an automated workflow.

Outcome: under two hours of weekly manual work remained, and the team extended it to two more processes within three months.

AI strategy · Regional SME · Manufacturing

Seven use cases prioritized, two ready to act on

Leadership had heard a lot about AI but had not found the right entry point. A two-week audit surfaced seven potential use cases, scored by effort and impact, and shortlisted two for immediate action.

Outcome: the first build started the following month with the existing team and budget.

Change & adoption · Internal innovation program

Adoption moved from paper to daily use

A solid internal AI roadmap existed on paper, but adoption was stuck at around 20 percent. We redesigned the rollout approach across stakeholder alignment, team training, and feedback loops.

Outcome: adoption rose to roughly 75 percent over one quarter.

Numbers reflect real outcomes. Company names withheld.
