Futurologist, strategy & creative advisor.
Introduction
I have devoted my career to merging creative vision with strategic insight, shaping businesses that thrive and brands that leave a lasting impact.
In a world where customer expectations shift as fast as new technologies emerge, businesses face competition from startups halfway across the globe. Organizations today aren’t just navigating complexity—they’re operating in an environment that demands constant innovation, resilience to uncertainty, and the ability to see opportunity where others see disruption.
The rules of the game have changed. A product launched today could be obsolete tomorrow, as customers demand seamless, personalized experiences and businesses scramble to meet needs they didn’t anticipate. Startups leveraging experimental technologies are disrupting entire industries overnight. Success isn’t just about adapting—it’s about shaping the change others follow. And it starts with rethinking how we meet the future.
For over two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of technology, society, and human behavior. Collaborations with Volkswagen, Fujifilm, MasterCard, Siemens, The World Bank, IFC, and Henkel have shaped my perspective on how innovation thrives at the crossroads of disruption and opportunity. These experiences have taught me that bold thinking and strategic action are the keys to navigating change.
My career—spanning roles like Head of Development and Technology at Edgecom, Program Manager at Microsoft, Chief Knowledge Officer at Cellcom, and In-house Futurologist at Volvo Cars—has given me a unique ability to guide organizations through transformation. These roles weren’t just about doing; they were about learning—about leading through uncertainty and designing strategies that drive measurable, meaningful change. Whether it’s shaping the future of mobility or reimagining business resilience, my focus remains on delivering tangible impact.
I’m selective about the projects I take on because this work isn’t just about meeting goals—it’s about building something lasting. By fostering partnerships rooted in trust and shared ambition, I deliver insights that inspire action and strategies that achieve results. Together, we create solutions that don’t just respond to the future but define it.
What motivates me most is working with people who are ready to challenge conventions, redefine success, and think differently. If you’re ready to explore what’s next, let’s take that first step—because navigating the future isn’t about predicting it. It’s about designing it, one decision at a time.

Session, Sprints & Deep dives
Over the years, I’ve come to believe that life is too short to settle for anything less than inspiring. The partnerships I pursue reflect this belief: I work only with people who energize me, brands that spark curiosity, and projects that make me say, “This is worth it.” For me, it’s never about ticking boxes or meeting deadlines—it’s about creating something purposeful. Every engagement transforms challenges into opportunities for growth and collaboration.
This passion drives how I approach each session, sprint, or deep dive. It’s not just about solving problems; it’s about asking the right questions and sparking ideas that resonate. My focus is on crafting solutions that inspire action, align vision with reality, and empower teams to go beyond immediate challenges. Whether uncovering a breakthrough strategy or refining a complex process, I ensure every insight builds momentum toward long-term progress.
Collaboration, for me, is more than a professional engagement—it’s an exchange of ideas, energy, and purpose. I thrive on the momentum that comes from working with people who share a vision of integrity and innovation. Together, we don’t just meet goals; we create lasting value. These partnerships are about building the foundation for something bigger, turning today’s challenges into the opportunities that will shape tomorrow. This is what keeps the work challenging, rewarding, and endlessly fulfilling.
Each engagement, whether a keynote or a strategy session, is carefully crafted to meet your specific needs. My goal is to provide you with practical insights you can act on immediately, helping you navigate today’s complex business landscape with clarity and confidence.
AI & Business Innovation
AI has moved beyond being a buzzword—it’s now the architect of industry transformation. But its potential isn’t unlocked by adopting technology blindly; it’s about understanding where AI truly thrives. I help organizations align AI with their goals, turning data into smarter decisions and innovation into sustainable growth. Together, we build solutions that amplify your strengths while avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Building Resilient Business Operations in the Era of AI
Resilience isn’t about building walls; it’s about learning to bend without breaking. Economic uncertainty, regulatory shifts, and technological disruption demand operations that can adapt as quickly as the world around them. I work with organizations to create frameworks that balance efficiency with flexibility, ensuring they’re prepared for whatever comes next. The goal? Operations that are not only future-proof but opportunity-ready.
Redefining Brand Engagement
Today, a brand isn’t just what you sell—it’s the connection you build with your audience. Customers demand authenticity, and cutting through the digital noise requires more than clever campaigns. I help organizations harness AI and digital tools to reshape their narratives, creating meaningful, trust-driven engagement. It’s not about keeping up with trends; it’s about creating a voice that resonates in a crowded marketplace.
Creative Strategies in Tech
Innovation doesn’t come from forcing creativity into a rigid process—it’s born at the intersection of diverse perspectives and emerging tools. By blending creativity with technology, I help organizations uncover breakthrough ideas. Whether it’s rethinking product design or exploring untapped markets, the goal is to create solutions that feel both fresh and feasible. It’s not just about thinking outside the box—it’s about redefining the box entirely.
The Future of Work and the Digital Economy
Work is no longer what it used to be, and neither are the skills or systems that power it. The digital economy has shifted the rules, demanding flexibility, adaptability, and new leadership models. I help organizations design workforces and cultures that thrive in this tech-first world, balancing innovation with practicality to ensure they’re ready for what comes next.
Navigating the AI Revolution: Opportunities and Challenges
AI’s potential is limitless, but with it comes the challenge of using it responsibly. From ethical dilemmas to strategic integration, the choices you make today will shape your organization’s future. I help leaders navigate this revolution thoughtfully, crafting AI strategies that amplify impact without compromising integrity. It’s not about rushing to adopt—it’s about getting it right.
