How I got here

I started my career as a business analyst and quickly realized that the companies winning in the 2020s weren't those with the best technology—they were the ones using AI strategically. I pivoted to focus on the intersection of AI, business strategy, and organizational change.

After consulting with dozens of organizations, I saw the same pattern: companies were buying expensive AI tools without a plan, hiring the wrong people, and missing governance altogether. I realized there was massive demand for fractional C-level AI leadership—someone who could come in, build strategy, set governance, and actually make AI work.

That's what AIDARIUS is. Over the past few years, I've helped teams across Europe and beyond move from "What is AI?" to "How do we scale AI safely and profitably?" I speak regularly about AI adoption, I write about practical AI strategy on LinkedIn and Substack, and I continue to work hands-on with clients to ensure their AI initiatives deliver real business value.

My core convictions

"AI is not about the technology. It's about what your people can do better, faster, and cheaper with AI."
"Responsible AI and business success are the same thing. Governance is not a cost—it's a competitive advantage."
"The best AI strategy is the one your team can execute. Complexity kills adoption."
