WHO I AM
For 28 years, I’ve been passionate about enabling companies to gain value from AI (yes, AI has been around that long). I had to learn the hard way that success is not driven by technology or data.
15 years ago, I had an epiphany. I know that it’s a big word, but this is when I realized that success with AI is driven by people: executives, users, and developers. This human factor is often overlooked. So I started to put more focus on people … and common sense. Maybe that’s why I’m now being called the voice of reason in AI.
Today, I turn these three decades of experience into keynotes and advice.
WHY WORK WITH ME
Many AI keynotes focus on shiny tools or what may be possible in the future. My keynotes focus on what companies can do with AI today and how they can accelerate AI adoption. To do that, I simplify AI, so any audience can understand it.
Many AI advisors learned about AI three years ago when ChatGPT was introduced. I have seen over three decades what works and what doesn’t. I have learned from the mistakes and enabled successful AI solutions across many business functions. My advice will be direct, pragmatic, and free of any BS.
WHAT I OFFER
- Keynotes – Insights and inspiration on AI and a reliable partner for your event
- Sparring for executives & business leaders – “What is that AI thing and what can it do for my company?”
- AI readiness assessment – Evaluation of how ready your company is for AI
THE RESULT
You, your employees, and your customers will know what AI is and what it can do for them. You will be able to see behind the overstated promises from AI vendors. And you will realize which AI solutions are best for your company AND how to ensure employee adoption.
My clients call me the voice of reason in AI. They appreciate the clarity. And they learn to understand AI beyond the hype.
Book me for keynotes and advice worldwide. In the USA, my base is Portland, Oregon and in Europe it's Munich, Germany. Being an experienced virtual speaker, I can also enhance your virtual event.

Beyond the AI hype
Keynote for executives and business leaders who are tired of overblown promises and want to know where AI actually creates measurable value, today. We leave the hype and FOMO behind and address the human factor.
AI: What’s in it for me?
Keynote for people managers who want their teams to use AI. I share ideas about building AI and data literacy, answering “What’s in it for me?” for employees, and driving AI adoption. This keynote is the live version of my book “AI - What's in it for me?”
Your AI works, but nobody cares (yet)
Keynote for data teams and their leaders who want to understand the human factor behind AI adoption. I show how to shift from project to product mindset, foster data storytelling, and drive real AI usage. This keynote builds on the book “AI - The human factor”.
Demystifying AI: From magic to reality
Keynote that demystifies AI for employees, partners, and customers. We strip away the magic, explode the AI myths, and replace them with a clear, practical understanding of AI. Safe experimentation is encouraged.
AI in healthcare: Regulated, not paralyzed
Keynote for healthcare employees, partners, and customers who want to understand where AI already creates value today and how to do it in a highly regulated industry. Spoiler alert: it’s easier than people believe.

His presence at the event was a great added-value asset as his presentations were always very attractive (both with regards to the content of the topic as well as the natural way of presenting).

Verified @datastorylab.netJack's talk was eye-opening and for me the best talk of the whole conference. Getting AI products adopted by employees is really hard to achieve. However, Jack distills the solution to one central question, gives orientation, and provides best practice examples.
