Head of AI. Speaker. Medical AI Expert.

Head of AI at ISTEC · Speaker · AI Navigator 2026 · PhD · Nature Communications

I sit at the intersection of artificial intelligence, medicine, and enterprise deployment. As Head of AI at ISTEC, I lead AI strategy, governance, and production systems at the executive level. As a researcher, I've published in Nature Communications on AI-driven precision oncology. As a speaker, I bring that depth to stages, podcasts, and panels — translating complex AI realities into decisions that matter.


Speaking & Media

AI in enterprise and healthcare — guest episode recording complete, episode releasing shortly.

Episode dropping soon
01
AI in Healthcare and Precision Medicine

From published oncology research to real clinical applications. What AI can actually do in medicine today, and where it still falls short.

02
From Pilot to Production

Most AI projects never leave the proof-of-concept stage. This is the concrete talk on governance, infrastructure, and culture that separates the ones that do.

03
Local AI and Hyperscaler Independence

Running powerful AI without sending data to cloud providers. What works today, what it costs, and why data sovereignty matters for regulated industries.

What I Do

Three things. In order of how I spend my time.

Book a Call
01

I lead AI at organizations.

As Head of AI at ISTEC, I own the AI strategy end to end — building production systems, setting compliance and governance, and driving adoption where none existed before. This is the work I do every day.

02

I speak and educate.

At conferences, on podcasts, in panels and opinion pieces — I translate what is actually happening in AI into language that business leaders, policy makers, and medical professionals can act on. Upcoming: AI Navigator 2026, Nuremberg.

03

I advise on AI deployment.

With select clients, I help build AI that actually ships: the strategy, the infrastructure, and the team capability to sustain it. I take on a small number of engagements each year where the fit is right.
