About Maximilian

I help companies recognize the strategic value of their data and translate it into concrete AI and digitalization initiatives. With experience as a transformation consultant, enterprise sales manager, and active lecturer at Swiss universities, I bring both the technical depth and the language that resonates at the C-level.
My focus is on regulated industries — Financial Services, Public Sector, and Healthcare — in Switzerland and the DACH region. I work directly with CDOs, CIOs, and digitalization managers, from strategy development and use case prioritization to executive workshops.
Graduated from the University of St. Gallen (HSG), published on AI ethics at ICIS 2022 (Best Paper in Track).
