• How do we turn AI into business value, not just experimentation?

• How can we empower our teams to use AI without creating AI workslop?
• What practical steps can we take to avoid ethical, operational, or financial pitfalls?

Andreas’s keynotes and workshops are known for their clarity, strategic relevance, and deep insight. Drawing from more than two decades in the software industry, he offers real-world frameworks and practical steps tailored to leadership audiences. He introduces leaders to AI agents, leading hybrid teams of humans and AI, and AI-driven business models, explaining not only what’s next, but what matters most and why.

During his tenure at SAP, Andreas accelerated the integration of AI across enterprise applications and positioned SAP as an AI leader.

Editor at HR Exchange Network

Serving as editor at CX Network and HR Exchange Network and a producer at PEX Network is a great honor. Winning the IQPC Digital 2024 Innovator of the Year Award meant so much because it refers to my relationship building skills. I won for creating breakout room sessions at the PEX Network All Access webinar series. These sessions were more than mere discussions. They were about bringing people together, coming up with solutions, and forming a bond of community even in a virtual world driven by advanced technology. My desire to lead people in collaboration and unity is at the core of my writing, editing, and production work. Connecting with people and showing humanity are the most important skills in the age of AI, and I will continuously develop them and improve them. That's a promise!
