about:
Experienced strategist and commercial leader now drawing on over 15 years in senior client-side strategic innovation and growth roles to support C-suite clients transform their business models, organizations and people (growth mindset, will-achieve attitude).

Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Achiever / Strategic / Self-Assurance / Activator / Relator

I caught fire digging into real customer problems and helping clients shape future growth opportunities. A need to innovate is largely due to some sort of external forces, such as increased competition or changes in customer preferences, which nowadays happens constantly. To succeed in the future, organizations must be able to experiment, pilot, test, and scale new products, services, and experiences much faster than they do today. Getting the timing of innovation right is fundamental to maximizing the returns. Bad timing can lead to disaster, whether you get to market too early or too late.

I have extensive experience across media & entertainment, sports & gaming (incl. betting), software & platforms, consumer goods and health industries, delivering strong sales, revenue and profitability. I am recognized as a progressive leader, people developer, serial entrepreneur and growth architect who understands that future operating models allow the whole organism of the business to change — and to keep changing — so it can continually innovate at speed and scale.

Most importantly, I enjoy hiring great, young talent and hearing new perspectives.

headline: Head of Digital Workplace & AI

about:
I help companies turn AI and digital workplace technology into practical productivity gains without losing their employees along the way, all built on a secure foundation. Over the past 14 years, I’ve built global teams from scratch, led Microsoft 365, Copilot, Anthropic and OpenAI rollouts, deployed ServiceNow ITSM solutions in under six months, and negotiated vendor contracts down by up to 70%.

My strongest area is the space between business, technology, adoption and operations. Understanding how people actually work, translating business needs into scalable workflows, and making the impact of technology measurable.

I currently work as Head of Digital Workplace & AI at valantic in Munich. Before that, I led a global Digital Workplace team at Lilium across Collaboration, Endpoint Management, Global ServiceDesk and ServiceNow ITSM. My last team covered four domains across three continents with a multi-million EUR budget.

I think AI success is not only about choosing the right tool. It is about access, adoption, enablement and operations. Who gets access? How do people actually use it? How do we build skills and confidence? How do we measure impact, improve workflows and make it sustainable?

That is also why I created concepts like the AI Context Ring: a simple, text-first model for company, team and employee context, so AI systems can understand how an organization works instead of only reading random documents and chat history.

For three years I also ran a weekly Microsoft 365 podcast in English and German, 248 episodes, over 100,000 listeners. The goal was the same as my day job: make technology less scary and more useful for the people who have to use it every day. I’m a former 3x Microsoft MVP for M365 and Microsoft Teams.

Bryan Rich

headline: Senior Managing Director |AI Infrastructure | Global Data & AI Lead for Health, Government & Defense

about:
Bryan Rich leads a multi‑billion‑dollar global AI business at Accenture, as Senior Managing Director and Global Lead for Artificial Intelligence across the Public Sector, Defense, and Health. He oversees the Generative AI Lab in Brussels, a network across EMEA that develops and tests AI solutions for government and enterprise transformation.
Bryan leads NAV AI, a multi‑agent product enabling governments to orchestrate deployment of agents for high‑complexity, knowledge‑based tasks. NAV AI was recognized in IDC’s “MarketScape: Worldwide AI Services for National Civilian Government 2025” as a differentiating capability that verifies data, AI, and computational integrity.
He also serves as Global Lead for Accenture’s strategic alliance with Palantir Technologies, overseeing enterprise and government adoption of Palantir Foundry and AIP worldwide.
Bryan is the author of The Risk of Not Building a Consensus on Artificial Intelligence and Defence, published by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), which warns that inconsistent AI governance in defense poses major strategic risk.
Before Accenture, he founded Global News Intelligence — one of the earliest AI/ML platforms to map influence in open‑source data — a precursor to modern OSINT. “Latency is critical to decision advantage,” he wrote, “and we were laser‑focused on solving the latency problem via a model‑based approach.” The company was acquired by Novetta and then the Carlyle Group.
In 2012, the U.S. State Department enlisted Bryan — drawing on his earlier work in media and conflict — to support the secular resistance to Bashar al‑Assad. He designed a hybrid FM‑satellite network linking civilian broadcasters to broadcast real‑time ISIS atrocities, a system credited with discrediting extremist propaganda.

headline: Strategy and Transformation in Investment Management | Chair, NISAU | Commissioner, IHEC | Governor, London Met University

about:
At the intersection of finance, policy, and education, I work with leaders to navigate complexity, shape strategy, and build platforms that deliver impact far beyond boardrooms.

In investment management, I work with executives to shape strategy, strengthen governance, and steer organisations through transformation. My experience spans the full product lifecycle — from refining market positioning and growth strategy to guiding complex organisational change, regulatory adaptation, and cross-border restructuring. I combine strategic advisory with hands-on execution, ensuring that strategies are not only well-designed but successfully implemented and deliver measurable results. This has included designing future-state op models, unlocking new market opportunities, and leading multi-stakeholder initiatives in high-stakes environments. I also contribute to industry thought leadership, deliver industry-wide training, and champion diversity through initiatives that have embedded sustainable change.

I believe studying in another country should open doors, build confidence, and forge connections that last a lifetime. Yet for many, the journey can be as challenging as it is exciting. That’s why, 15 years ago, I founded the National Indian Students and Alumni Union: to be a home away from home for Indian students in the UK.

What began as a small volunteer-led effort is now a trusted institution combining grassroots student support with policy influence, and a recognised partner to government and industry on matters affecting international ed. Our work has reached millions, supported students through major global crises, expanded access, and advocated for fairer outcomes.

I’m a systems thinker, translator of ideas, connector of people and capital, builder — on a mission to build a future that humans actually want to live in.

Summary: innovation executive focused on emerging tech and human futures, VC investor, board member, published author, public speaker, community builder, and global citizen. Fluency in these worlds allows me to spot new trends and see the bigger picture.

How this shows up:

1) Managing Director + lead all NA and LATAM innovation hubs at Accenture, working with senior exec clients and boards to support their transformation journeys.

headline: Global Supply Chain Leader | $10M+ Cost Savings | SAP & S&OP Strategist | APAC–EMEA–NA | Driving Digital, Lean & ESG Transformation

about:
I help organizations build supply chains that perform — under pressure, at scale, and across borders.

With 20+ years of experience across APAC, EMEA, and North America, I have led supply chain transformation in fast-moving industries like semiconductors, photonics, and high-volume manufacturing. I have driven $10M+ in cost savings, reduced lead times by 40%, cut obsolete inventory from 15% to 3%, and lifted OTIF from 90% to 99%.

My strength lies in bridging strategy and execution. I have led teams across sourcing, logistics, planning, and supplier performance — integrating SAP-driven S&OP, Lean controls, and sustainability frameworks to create smarter, faster, and more resilient operations.

Altid en fornøjelse at være på Bornholm.

Jeg har givet mit første store interview som udlændinge- og integrationsordfører.

Jeg sætter lidt ord på, hvad jeg mener er det vigtigste.

At færre mennesker helt generelt ser et behov for at blive kriminelle.

Så skal de heller ikke være her.

Udlændinge og integration er et område i dansk politik, som måske er et af de mest eksplosive, hårde og kyniske.
