I’m a Data & AI leader by day, a musician at night, and an optimist at heart. 

After 12+ years in data analytics, data governance, consumer insights, digital transformation and AI innovation, I grew fond of the human aspect - how to communicate, collaborate and get creative around data and AI.

My passion lies in making data and AI more approachable and fun, and I often use unconventional methods to do so - with music, humor or other creative outlets. 

Nice to meet you!

Data quality has always been a little bit of a catch-all for all kinds of data complaints. Whenever data looks a little different than expected, it immediately must be a data quality problem. 

The rapid increase of AI-driven use cases for data now puts even more attention to the concept of data quality, because AI use cases often require expanded historical data, higher granularity, higher speed and a different focus - like unstructured data for context. 

One thing has not changed: the only way to manage data quality in the right way is to move away from generic complaints about it to detailed conversations about what "high quality" data actually means, and what currently is missing to get there - to then improve data quality together towards a defined state. 

When in doubt, dad jokes can also help - to not only break the ice, but to also exercise authority by positioning yourself as someone's dad. 😁 

Let me know if you need any help.

Fun with data literacy in Kindergarten?! 

Yesterday I was invited to read “The Data Detective at the carnival” to the kids at my son’s Kindergarten group - a book that I translated for the German community and donated to the Kindergarten before. 

I was first a little worried that talking to kids between 4 and 6 years old about qualitative and quantitative data would be too difficult - oh how wrong I was! 

We had the most fun letting the kids count and describe things not only in the book but also in the room and in their lives - and everyone was excited to get a “data detective certificate” afterwards! 

But the most rewarding thing of all is how proud my son was that his dad came to Kindergarten to read a book to everyone - showing up as his cool dad is probably my favorite speaking engagement ever. 

Thanks to Chandra Donelson and Jordan Morrow for writing such a wonderful book!

I enjoy working in international companies - not just because I’m afraid otherwise I’ll forget how to speak English (though that’s a nice bonus).

It’s because I realized there’s something comforting about everyone being a little uncomfortable together.

In locally operating companies, most people feel at home. They share the same cultural references, the same unspoken rules, the same sense of belonging. And because of my ethnic background, I’m often the one who doesn’t quite fit that mold - even when nobody means harm intentionally.

In international companies, nobody is fully in their comfort zone. We’re all navigating different communication styles, different holidays, different ways of giving feedback. We’re all mispronouncing each other’s names and explaining our cultural contexts.

And paradoxically, that shared discomfort becomes the common ground.

When everyone is learning to adapt, nobody is the odd one out. When we’re all bringing our “different” to the table, different becomes the norm.

I’ve always connected more with people who’ve experienced life beyond their immediate surroundings. Now I realize it’s because they understand what it’s like to not always belong - and that understanding creates a different kind of home.

Belonging doesn’t mean we all need to be the same. Sometimes it means we’re all different together.

In a desperate attempt to make data jobs cool for the next generation, Fortnite launches the new “data squad” skins! 

They even come with their own signature powers: 

👉 the data engineer can build pipelines to move faster but everytime a pipeline breaks the player is teleported next to the pipeline to fix it for an hour

👉 the data scientist can predict other players’ movements but needs to clean data in a spreadsheet for 30 minutes first 

👉 the data analyst puts random dashboards all across the map to confuse other players with KPIs and metrics 

👉 the data product owner can build powerful products but with every minute without a RoI the player loses power 

👉 the data governor can change the rules of the game entirely but other players only have to comply optionally 

Can’t wait for the AI roles skins to drop with equally as much realism! 

P.S. this is satire and not real.

I asked the Deer CEO what her herd’s biggest challenges in adopting AI are.

She said: “I just came for food, you’re imagining this conversation and please stop taking selfies with me.” 

Just goes to show we still have a long way to go to create real value with AI. 

Let’s get to work.

Forward Data Conference, here I come! 

This year’s final station of what for me felt like the “humanizing data & AI world tour” will be in Paris - and it will be a doozy! 

I’ll be giving a talk about the key success criteria of truly scaling AI, and I can’t wait to meet data friends like Joe Reis, Eevamaija Virtanen, Jessica Talisman, Andrea Gioia and Gaëlle SERET! 

The forward data conference was an excellent experience already last year, and from what I’ve seen so far Yoann Benoit, François Laurain and the team took it to really the next level this year.

Oh yeah, the scarf indoors is protecting my voice because there may or may not be some never before seen or heard music by yours truly tomorrow… 🎶

à demain!

Congratulations to Greg Freeman on publishing The Data & AI Literacy Bible - a book that’s timely, important and truly insightful! 

I had the honor to review and endorse this book, and what I really love about it is the focus on human confidence, growth and actions - aspects that are often forgotten in conceptual and abstract conversations around literacy. 

This having said, I’ve had the chance to meet various Data Literacy Academy folks and they’re all awesome - you can talk to them and find out yourself 🙂

The book is now out on amazon, link in the comments!

There are many reasons why AI governance is important right now, but the biggest undeniable reason for me is that we need to admit that human-beings aren't perfect and make mistakes, and that we should do everything we can do prevent machines from making the same ones - faster and on bigger scale. 

I was asked to contribute to the "Document automation trends in 2026" report by Rossum and focused on the importance and challenges of AI governance, and there are many other interesting trends to read about that are not only specific to document automation but to AI use cases in general.

On a side note, I love how we are all trying our best to predict the next year, when AI specifically this year showed us that many things are truly unpredictable. I guess we all want some certainty for comfort, and I'm not blaming anyone.

Huge thanks to Julie BIASION ✨ for inviting me to contribute!
