I'm just as happy to support companies that are just starting out with AI as I am to support companies that are already very advanced. I firmly believe that AI governance doesn't have to be a barrier to innovation. On the contrary – those who establish the right structures early on lay the foundation for AI to be more scalable while remaining trustworthy and auditable.

LinkedIn Newsletter: AI Governance Compass„

From March 2026, my monthly newsletter for decision-makers, supervisory boards, investors, and anyone who wants to effectively and responsibly manage AI in their company will be published. It covers current topics, fundamental questions, practical examples, insights into AI tools, and the latest developments in regulation and standards. No hype, no filler.

The pressure on those responsible within companies is increasing: AI is expected to deliver benefits, risks must be managed, and robust answers need to be provided to supervisory bodies, investors, and auditors. At the same time, the information available on governance is becoming more voluminous, but not necessarily better.

The newsletter offers focused guidance monthly, with a reading time of 10 to 15 minutes – for people who want or need to use AI and are responsible for its impact.

Let's discuss your topics and questions.

Within 30 minutes, we can clarify whether and how I can usefully support you.
