Hi, I'm Nadine - a passionate innovator and technology strategist with over 15 years of experience driving digital transformation and innovation. My expertise spans sectors from IT and media to automotive and education. With one foot in the vibrant startup ecosystem and the other in the realm of global corporations, I feel equally at home in both worlds and am eager to share my knowledge and insights with you. 

My mission is to demystify new technologies and make them accessible to everyone. I believe we can have a positive impact together by fostering a common understanding and adherence to ethical principles.

-------------------------
△ Strategy development
-------------------------
I craft strategies grounded in clarity and values. In my view, the success of a strategy hinges on three key factors:

▶ Co-creation and collaboration with a company’s most valuable asset—its diverse workforce.
▶ An action plan that includes specific projects, their success metrics, and learning objectives.
▶ Open, transparent, and regular communication about the development and implementation of the strategy.

-----------------------------------------------------
△ AI EDUCATION AND IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP
-----------------------------------------------------
I aim to bridge the gap between technological progress and its practical application in everyday life. To achieve this, I focus on educational formats and collaborative strategy development to harness new technologies for organizations.
------------------------------------------
▶ GENERATIVE AI WORKSHOP FORMATS
------------------------------------------
Tailored to an organization's work environment, I offer customized, experience-based workshop formats on Generative Artificial Intelligence. These workshops cover terminology, ethical and regulatory considerations, prompt design and engineering, the development of AI assistants, and their practical applications within a work context.
-------------------------
▶ Generative AI Roadmap
-------------------------
Through what I call Ignition Sprints, I collaborate with organizations to explore the potential applications of Generative AI and devise an action plan for implementing and measuring the success of concrete prototypes.

All the best things in my life have happened because I decided not to do what I was "supposed" to do. 

Before high school, my teachers said that I should attend a purely scientific high school, but I chose a foreign language high school instead.
After high school, my professors told me that I was wasting my time going into engineering because I didn't have the necessary foundation.
When I quit my first job as a project manager to become a development engineer, everybody thought it was a step backwards.
When I left Italy to find a job in e-mobility, everybody thought I was crazy because "electric cars are just city cars."
When I started dating a French guy, everybody was surprised and asked, "Really? A French guy?"
Want to guess what happened when I said that I didn't want to develop sports cars anymore?

We are the result of our choices, and I tend to not choose the obvious and easy way. Ryan Holiday made me realize that I am just a stoic.

I love challenges, concepts, prototypes, adventures, and explorations.

I can talk for hours about innovation, futures, gaming, and "the hot tech sh*t of the year."

I am addicted to learning new things every day, all while parenting two amazing and lively little humans (with the French guy).

My favorite T-shirt says, "Rebel is my favorite color!" but I recently bought another one that is fighting for the top spot and says, "Hell was boring."

I’ve been on the hunt for a sport that truly fits my lifestyle, my physiology, and what Stacy T. Sims, PhD  teaches about training for women. A few weeks ago, I found it and jumped in: strongman training.

Lifting odd, heavy objects has become the most unexpectedly fun part of my week. It challenges me, grounds me, and feels designed for how my body actually works.

As the nerd I am, I’m measuring and tracking everything I can with wearables and apps—and since none of them quite capture what I need, I’ve also started building my own training app with Lovable. Data, experimentation, and strength training turned out to be a perfect mix.

To make sure I won‘t let go, I decided that I will take part in a strong(wo)man competition next October. Now you know, I can’t back off. 

Strength has no age limit.

What If “Gentle Exercise” Is the Wrong Prescription?

Much of healthcare is still built around treating issues once they show up, not preventing them in the first place. The default advice often becomes “gentle activity” long after strength, power, and resilience should have been actively protected.

Dr. Stacy Sims highlights another uncomfortable reality: most medical and exercise research has been built around male physiology. When women follow those same guidelines—especially after 40—the results are often disappointing or counterproductive.

Strength training isn’t extreme. It’s preventative care. It supports bone density, muscle mass, metabolic health, and long-term independence before decline becomes visible.

Waiting for weakness to appear is the costly option. Building strength early is the quiet, effective one.

Strength has no age limit.
And women are not little men.

#womenfitness #strengthtraining #longevity

WHY STRENGTH TRAINING AS A WOMAN OVER 40?

Strength training isn’t a niche interest for women; it’s one of the most protective things we can do for our bodies as we move through our 40s and beyond.

Muscle mass naturally declines with age, and strength work slows that drop dramatically. It supports metabolism, stabilizes hormones, improves insulin sensitivity, and builds the foundation for long-term mobility. It also protects bone density at a stage when many women start to lose it quickly.

For women over 40, strength isn’t just about lifting heavier. It’s about keeping joints stable, reducing injury risk, improving posture, and maintaining the kind of everyday resilience that makes life smoother.

The more I train, the clearer it becomes: strength is not optional. It’s a health investment with compound interest.

Strength has no age limit.
