Back to original languageAbout Patrick
Entrepreneur, Operator, AI Architect - 25 years of own companies. I don't build concepts. I build systems that run in production.
TRACK RECORD
Scaled an international furniture production and trading company to nearly 100 employees across multiple European locations over 12 years. International sourcing in China (CIFF Guangzhou, Shanghai Furniture Fair), marketing at IMM Cologne. In the last three years: fully digitized modern manufacturing setup - BOM down to screw level, piece-rate based time tracking and payroll system, fully automated order-to-production chain from Amazon/Shopify directly to the factory, AI-powered production data analysis. Strategic exit in 2024.
TODAY - TWO ACTIVE PROJECTS
Own Venture: AI-Native Brand Intelligence Platform
Proprietary competitive intelligence infrastructure for premium brands. Hierarchical multi-agent system with 40+ autonomous agents (Minions, Supervisors, CEO Agent), organized into 9 departments with their own inbox and messaging layer. Two coupled Postgres databases: 80 tables, 93 views, 2,971 data fields. Semantic AI queries via pgvector across all signal sources. Squeeze methodology: each agent must deliver 10 new findings per run, repetitions excluded - forcing AI into continuous discovery. Customers access via MCP in chat instead of dashboards.

- Eigenes UnternehmenFounder & CEO - International Furniture Production (100 Employees) & AI Manufacturing PioneerRETAIL (LARGE RETAILERS)July 2012 - December 2023 (11 years and 5 months)Danzig, PolandBuilding and managing a furniture production and trading company for over 12 years — from founding to a European production facility with nearly 100 employees. Strategic exit in 2024.Core Responsibilities:- Entire P&L, strategic and operational management- International sourcing in China (CIFF Guangzhou, Shanghai Furniture Fair), Asia-Europe supply chain, exhibition at IMM Cologne- Building and scaling the European production with nearly 100 employeesMODERN MANUFACTURING — THE LAST YEARSFully digitized manufacturing setup with end-to-end automation from customer click to work order — far beyond what Shopify covers at SKU level:- Bill of Materials (BOM) for each product: complete parts lists down to screw level, each variant individually calculable with components, materials, and cost drivers- Fully automated order-to-production chain: Amazon and Shopify orders run directly into the production platform, BOM automatically triggers supplier orders — no manual intervention- Piece-rate based time tracking and payroll system: transparent accounting based on production output, automatic calculation of personnel costs per product- AI-powered analysis of production data: pattern recognition in lead times, margin fluctuations per category, automated reordering logicStrategic Direction: I recognized the structural change in European manufacturing early on — labor costs are converging, origin labels influence purchasing behavior. The controlled exit came in 2024.This phase shaped two things: operational excellence at the production level and consistent experience with AI automation in a supposedly "analog" industry. I bring the same mindset today — building systems that run in production, not in PowerPoint.
