Working closely with my counterparts in Global Assurance and Tax as part of our Network AI leadership." This is a genuine cross-firm leadership remit for AI, but explicitly framed around impact "for PwC and our clients" (commercial/external commercial impact) rather than purely internal knowledge-base/IP-reuse ownership, and most of his career (Strategy&, PwC China, PwC UK Partner roles) is squarely client-delivery consulting - hence capped at 3 rather than 4-5, since the described work leans toward commercial/strategic AI impact for the business (including client-facing) rather than explicit internal knowledge-reuse/sanitisation ownership.

about:
The true value of Data & AI isn't the technology — it's the business outcome it creates. The right technology, at best, keeps you from failing. Success comes from the right idea, executed the right way.

As Partner and Data & AI Lead at PwC Austria, I advise executive teams in enterprises and the public sector on exactly that: turning data and AI ambition into measurable results — from GenAI adoption and modern data architectures to governance that holds up in daily business. And I stand behind the outcomes, not just the recommendations.

My background spans both sides of the table: years in software engineering and enterprise architecture at Magna, Braincourt, and Avanade before building PwC Austria's Data & AI practice. I speak the language of code and the language of the boardroom — and I speak regularly at industry events and in the media on what AI actually changes for organizations.
