About Christian

AI and digital transformation advisor with 15+ years of experience helping enterprises discover, design and deliver AI
responsibly – from first prototype to scaled adoption. Most recently built an enterprise AI Hub & Factory at Lundbeck,
delivering around ten Gen/AI use cases into production alongside cross-functional squads of business and technical
colleagues. My approach is co-creative and pragmatic: facilitate workshops, build working prototypes, translate between
stakeholders, and keep an honest eye on value, ethics and limitations. Daily user of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini; actively
following agentic AI and responsible-AI design patterns. Denmark is home, with my wife and two children, and writing
science fiction novels keeps the creative side alive.
