Keynotes, workshops and TEDx
I translate what is happening in AI and technology into what it means for the people who have to decide. No jargon, no hype, and something the audience can act on the next morning.
On stage at TEDxParadeplatz, an event I organised
One on what leadership demands once AI changes the work itself. One on how nations win, or lose, the contest for innovation. I also organised TEDxParadeplatz.
Winning the Innovation Game as a Nation TEDxUniMannheim · 2026 
Leadership in the Era of AI TEDxKarlshochschule International University · 2023 A main-stage talk that gives a large audience one clear argument and the evidence behind it.
A working session with a leadership team that ends in priorities, owners and next steps.
Moderated conversations and virtual briefings for customers, partners or internal communities.
Topics
Every talk is prepared for the room: its industry, its seniority and the decision it is facing. These are the themes that come up most.
What changes for leaders when AI takes on the work itself, and what stays stubbornly human.
Governing AI by principle instead of by checklist, so control keeps pace with the technology.
Leading organisations through change that compounds faster than plans can be rewritten.
Where AI changes the basis of competition, and how to design the organisation around it.
How nations and companies compete once technology becomes a matter of national interest.
What aviation’s hardest moments teach executives about deciding when time and information run out.
