Senior Data & AI Leader / Switzerland / Europe

Strategy, architecture, and delivery for regulated data and AI.

Twenty-five years building, scaling, and modernizing enterprise data and AI in regulated environments. I work with executive teams who need data and AI strategy that survives contact with engineering, regulation, and the board — and the practice and people to deliver it.

When to talk

Bring me in when the decision is important, cross-functional, and hard to simplify.

If the problem is already clear, request a conversation. If you need depth first, the expertise map shows how I think and the CV shows the delivery evidence.

Strategy ambition is outpacing the organisation's ability to deliver it.

You need a leader who can hold the strategy, the architecture, and the delivery in one head — and the practice that ships against them.

Data foundations aren't ready for the AI ambition on top of them.

Lakehouse, mesh, lineage, quality, ownership, and controls need to become an operating system, not a tool collection.

Board, risk, and engineering aren't reading from the same page.

You need someone who can translate strategy into architecture, architecture into delivery, and delivery back into evidence — without losing credibility in any of those rooms.
