I help universities and education organizations move from transformation strategy to transformation practice. Drawing on 20+ years of founding, leading, and redesigning educational institutions: not from the sidelines, but from inside. And when talking is not enough, I build working AI prototypes so your strategy discussion starts from something real.
Start a ConversationPresidents, vice-presidents, deans, and transformation teams who want to redesign learning, not just digitize the status quo. From learning model redesign to faculty development to institutional change strategy.
Education ministries and policy bodies developing frameworks for future-ready higher education. Evidence-based, internationally informed, and grounded in what actually works on the ground.
Stiftungen, education NGOs, and corporate foundations investing in education innovation. Strategic guidance on program design, impact models, and building education initiatives that last.
Companies building education products or transforming internal learning. Advisory on learning science, pedagogical strategy, and designing for real learning outcomes, not just engagement metrics.
I don't just advise on transformation: I've done it. Twice. I've founded two universities, designed learning models, hired faculty, built student assessment systems, and navigated accreditation. I know what works in theory and what survives contact with reality.
Through my work with Hochschulforum Digitalisierung and the peer-to-peer consulting program, I've worked closely with dozens of German universities on their transformation journeys. I understand the systemic barriers and know which levers actually move institutions.
From Stanford to Kigali, from Helsinki to Cartagena: I've seen how different countries and cultures approach education innovation. I bring this breadth to every engagement.
I design and ship AI learning systems myself: an AI learning platform in live pilot at a German university, retrieval-based assistants, coaching companions. My AI advice is grounded in running code, not vendor slides. See the Lab.
Design or transform your institution's pedagogical approach. Project-based learning, competency-based assessment, self-directed curricula, AI integration, tailored to your context, accreditation requirements, and institutional culture.
Move beyond strategy documents to actual transformation practice. I work with leadership teams to identify leverage points, build coalitions of the willing, and create conditions for sustainable change.
Develop a thoughtful, institution-specific approach to AI in teaching and learning. Beyond "AI policy", toward a vision of how AI reshapes what your university does and why.
The fastest way out of abstract AI debates is a focused prototype your own people can touch, test, and challenge. I scope and build working AI systems for education contexts: retrieval-based assistants on your own content, AI learning companions, persona tools for program feedback. Weeks, not semesters, and designed for data sovereignty from day one.
Drawing on my experience in Hochschulforum Digitalisierung's peer-to-peer program: structured, honest, constructive external assessment of your institution's transformation efforts.
Interactive half-day or full-day sessions for leadership teams, faculty groups, or mixed audiences. Topics include: future-proofing curricula, designing for curiosity, implementing project-based learning, and preparing institutions for AI.
30-minute conversation to understand your situation, goals, and constraints. Free and no-commitment.
A clear scope, approach, and investment outline tailored to your needs. Typically within one week.
Formats range from a single workshop to multi-month advisory retainers. Always flexible, always focused on outcomes.
Every transformation starts with a conversation. Tell me about your institution, your challenges, and where you want to go.
