Head of AI & AI Solutions · AI Transformation Leader

An executive who builds. 15+ years in business — 9 running a country operation — then a hands-on pivot into AI since 2023. I design and ship production AI, end to end.

01 — Profile

Most people are either business leaders who can't build, or engineers who don't speak business. I do both — from self-hosted LLM/RAG infrastructure and fine-tuned models to the governance and business case around them. What I'm really good at isn't a tool: it's seeing how a system holds together — the structure, the dependencies, the logic underneath.

02 — What I do
01

AI Strategy & Leadership

Roadmap, governance, KPIs & acceptance criteria, C-level presentations, team building, AI literacy programs.

02

AI / LLM Engineering

LLMs, RAG, fine-tuning (LoRA), agent design, LLMOps — production, not prototypes.

03

AI Infrastructure

Self-hosted stack — on-prem GPU, Ollama, Qdrant, Docker, LiteLLM, Tailscale/Cloudflare.

04

AI Governance & Security

EU AI Act, GDPR, cloud IAM (GCP), secure LLM gateways, prompt-injection & PII scanning.

05

Commercial & Marketing

Sales leadership, key accounts, brand & go-to-market, full P&L ownership.

06

Multimodal AI

Voice, audio & video generation with automated content & podcast pipelines.

03 — Experience

Fifteen years in business.
Then I learned to build.
