I help leaders in traditional industries find their way through AI and digital transformation.
Speaker, advisor, and visiting lecturer bridging cutting-edge tech and established business realities.
About Andreas
I've spent 30 years at the intersection of technology and traditional industries; a combination that's become increasingly valuable as AI reshapes how established businesses compete.
My background spans both worlds: early digital marketing with Google, Cisco, and Adobe in the 2000s, then 16 years building and scaling Nourish Marketing before a successful exit in 2023. I understand both cutting-edge tech and the realities of transforming established businesses in slow-moving sectors.
Today, I work with leaders navigating AI and digital transformation as an advisor, speaker, and visiting lecturer at Ivey Business School. My approach: simplify complexity into actionable direction. No hype, no jargon, just clear paths forward for leaders facing unprecedented change.
