AI generalist and transformation leader turning AI into measurable business value.
NorwayWhat I'm looking for
I am an AI generalist and enterprise transformation leader with 18+ years of experience across telecom, media, and energy, focused on translating AI vision into prioritised portfolios and measurable ROI. I bridge business leaders and technical teams to ensure initiatives are commercially grounded and operationally feasible.
I have led enterprise-scale AI transformations, architected data & AI platforms, and delivered AI solutions that achieved significant savings and measurable business impact. My work spans cloud modernization (GCP, Azure, AWS), MLOps, knowledge graphs, LLMs, and explainable AI to build scalable, governed capabilities rather than experiments.
I advise CxOs, run applied research programs, and design AI factories and HPC labs to support large-scale LLM and semantic workloads. I focus on responsible adoption, governance, and embedding AI into business processes to strengthen competitiveness and sustainable capabilities.
