In today’s fast-paced digital world, organizations face the challenge of transforming complex, ever-growing data landscapes into real business value-securely, efficiently, and at scale. With a PhD from ETH Zürich and over 20 years of experience in data strategy, architecture, and analytics, I am passionate about leveraging data, AI, and advanced analytics to drive innovation and growth. My expertise spans the full data value chain-from building scalable cloud platforms and implementing robust data governance frameworks to developing AI-driven products and leading high-performing, cross-functional teams. Key Achievements: Built a scalable cloud data platform (GCP) integrating 50+ data sources, reducing time-to-insight by 60% and empowering 200+ business users with self-service analytics. Developed and implemented AI models that increased sales efficiency by 25% and launched data-driven products for SME revenue growth. Led international teams of up to 40 data professionals, introducing agile and DevOps practices that cut development cycles by 30%. Managed technology portfolios and budgets up to CHF 10M, focusing on scalability, compliance, and innovation. Currently, I am deepening my expertise in digital strategy and technology leadership through the Chief Technology Officer Programme at Cambridge Judge Business School.
