My Story
For over 15 years, I've been bridging business understanding with technical expertise. My journey took me from founding my own digital agency through leading complex IT projects at Namics and Migros to running a company as CEO/CTO.
What drives me: helping organizations leverage digital technologies (especially Artificial Intelligence) to create real value. Not as an end in itself, but as a tool that solves real problems and simplifies processes.
