Vendor-agnostic AI guidance
Enterprise AI Advisory
Helping Nordic companies make confident AI decisions. From vendor evaluation to team adoption, backed by practitioner experience and a global network of AI community leaders.
The AI landscape is moving fast. Your decisions shouldn't be rushed.
Every enterprise is being asked the same question right now. How do we use AI? The pressure to move quickly leads to expensive mistakes. Wrong vendor. Wrong use case. Tools that get bought but never adopted.
I work with companies that want to get this right. Not by chasing hype, but by understanding what actually works in practice. I bring hands-on experience building with AI tools, a global view of enterprise adoption patterns, and the ability to translate technical possibilities into business decisions your leadership team can act on.
I'm not selling a specific vendor. I'm helping you figure out what fits your organization, your team, and your goals.
Why companies trust me with AI decisions
Practitioner, not just advisor
I build with AI tools daily. I've shipped products using OpenAI's API, I work with Claude Code, and I use AI across development, strategy, and operations. When I recommend something, it's because I've used it.
Global community network
I co-lead the Copenhagen Claude Code community alongside Diana Meda, part of a global network of 90+ AI community leaders across 47+ cities. I see what's working at scale before it shows up in analyst reports.
Enterprise reality check
I've led technology teams in medtech, public sector, and management consulting. I understand procurement, compliance, change management, and the gap between a proof-of-concept and something that actually gets used.
Builder and strategist
I can prototype a solution Monday and present the business case to your C-suite Friday. Most advisors do one or the other. I do both.
How I work with companies
AI Readiness Assessment
A structured evaluation of where your organization stands with AI and where it should go. We map your current tech stack, team capabilities, and highest-value use cases. You get a clear view of what's possible, what's practical, and what to do first.
What you get
AI readiness scorecard. Prioritized use case map. Vendor comparison across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and open-source alternatives. A 90-day roadmap your team can execute.
Timeline: 2 to 4 weeksFormat: Workshops, stakeholder interviews, and a final presentation to leadership
Vendor Selection & Procurement Support
Choosing the right AI platform is a decision that affects your company for years. I help you run proof-of-concept evaluations, compare vendors on criteria that matter to your specific situation, and navigate enterprise agreements with confidence.
Through my community network and industry relationships, I can connect you directly with the right people at AI providers and cloud platforms, and make sure those conversations are productive from the start.
Timeline: 4 to 8 weeksFormat: Structured evaluation process with clear decision criteria and executive briefing
Implementation Coaching & Team Enablement
Buying AI tools is easy. Getting your teams to actually use them well is the hard part. I run hands-on workshops, train developers on AI-assisted workflows, set up sustainable practices, and build internal champions who keep momentum going after I leave.
I've seen what makes AI adoption stick and what kills it, across dozens of organizations. That pattern recognition is what you're paying for.
Timeline: 3 to 6 month engagementFormat: Monthly retainer with workshops, coaching sessions, and progress reviews
Ongoing AI Strategy Advisory
For companies that want a fractional AI advisor on call. Monthly check-ins, quarterly roadmap reviews, and early access to trends and insights from the global AI community network. A lightweight relationship that keeps your AI strategy current without adding headcount.
Timeline: 12+ month retainerFormat: Monthly advisory sessions and quarterly strategic reviews
What working together looks like
1
Discovery call
A 30-minute conversation to understand your situation, goals, and where you're stuck. No pitch. Just an honest assessment of whether I can help.
2
Tailored proposal
Based on our conversation, I put together a focused scope of work. Clear deliverables, timeline, and investment. No padding.
3
Hands-on engagement
I work alongside your team, not above them. Expect workshops, honest feedback, and practical guidance that moves things forward every week.
4
Knowledge transfer
The goal is always to build your internal capability. When we're done, your team should be more confident making AI decisions on their own.
This might be right for you if...
You're a technology leader, CTO, or head of digital at a Nordic company with 500 to 25,000 employees. You know AI matters for your business, but you're not sure where to start or which vendor to trust. Maybe you've done some experiments but nothing has scaled. Maybe your board is asking questions you don't have answers to yet.
I work across sectors, with particular depth in medtech, healthcare, financial services, energy, and public sector organizations.
If you're at a smaller company or startup, I may not be the right fit. But I'm happy to point you in the right direction.
