Ines Schwarz

I am an AI & Business Process Expert and People–Tech Bridge 🤖🧠❤️. I help startups, solopreneurs, and digital businesses streamline, standardize, and scale their core processes with GenAI & Workflow Automation.

My background: several years as Product Owner & Ops Lead at REWE Digital (one of Germany's largest food retailers), responsible for computer vision & automation products with ~€1.3 million budget and a cross-functional team (~12 FTE, C-level interface). It wasn't about an "AI playground," but about hard KPIs: reducing shrink, increasing throughput, rolling out processes stably.

Today, I support clients as an AI & Process Automation Consultant:

I analyze operations & processes (e.g., Lead-to-Close, Client Onboarding, Delivery, Backoffice).

I map current vs. target processes and design "AI-ready" workflows.

I identify high-impact GenAI & Automation use cases that truly save time, reduce costs, or increase quality.

I translate these into clear workflows, roadmaps & KPIs that teams can work with: Who does what, in which tool, with what success criterion.

Typical results: fewer manual loops, fewer media breaks, more transparency, speed, and measurable business impact.

I prefer to work with doers who have vision & drive – remote-first teams that understand AI & Automation as a business lever, not just a buzzword.
