About Christian

Are you looking for someone who not only understands AI but also legally integrates it into your business processes? That's exactly my thing: I transform customer-centric processes into efficient, AI-augmented value chains – measurable, compliant, and sustainable.
What makes me special: I cover the entire spectrum – from AI strategy and use-case discovery to implementation, governance, and auditing according to ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act. As a TÜV-certified AI Manager and AI Auditor, I combine this with over 25 years of transformation experience from corporations and SMEs – from Mercedes-Benz and Continental to 1&1.
Typical projects I undertake:

AI Transformation & Operating Models – Identifying AI potentials and integrating them into processes (CRM, Customer Service, Contact Center)
AI Governance, Compliance & Audits – EU AI Act Readiness, ISO/IEC 42001, Elimination of Shadow AI
Process & Service Transformation – Project Management, BPMN 2.0, Fit-Gap Analyses, Change and Stakeholder Management

Whether as a project manager, sub-project manager, or sparring partner: I bring structure to change – and ensure that AI becomes a competitive advantage for you, not a risk.
