🚀 Bridging Tech & People | Turning Tech into Impact | Infotainer on a Mission | Leader by Influence 🧭

Location n/a
SAP

Tech is only as powerful as the people it empowers. For 18 years, I’ve been at the intersection of technology, strategy and storytelling - from coding to consulting, from presales leadership to Go-to-Market strategy.

My passion? Bringing AI-driven innovation to life and equipping teams with tools that don’t just increase efficiency, but transform the way they work. But let’s be real – even the smartest technology is useless if no one understands or embraces it. That’s where I come in. 🧭 As a GTM Functional AI Lead, I review and consolidate AI use case ideas, help shape and assess business cases, define the GTM end-to-end internal business AI target framework with the team, and work with the Value Management team to set adoption KPIs and measure realized value. 🤝 As an enablement expert, I make sure teams and partners have the right tools to thrive. 🎤 As an Infotainer, I turn complex tech into compelling stories that educate, excite, and inspire. I don’t just talk about the future - I help shape it. Let’s create impact together.
