AI strategy and advisory

Build your AI playbook with a former Amazon innovation lead. Based in Stockholm, serving the Nordics and Europe.

Most organizations know they need an AI strategy. Few have one that connects to actual business value. The gap is not the technology - it is the strategic thinking that turns AI capabilities into measurable outcomes.

I help leadership teams cut through the noise, identify where AI creates real value for their specific business, and build adoption roadmaps that get executive buy-in and actually get implemented. The approach is rooted in Amazon's Working Backwards methodology - start with the customer problem, not the technology.

What I help with

AI opportunity mapping

Identify and prioritize high-value AI use cases across your organization using the three-bucket framework - productivity gains, new value creation, and business model disruption. Walk away with a ranked portfolio of opportunities, not a generic list.

AI playbook development

Build a company-wide AI playbook tailored to your culture, industry, and maturity level. Covers governance, responsible AI principles, tool selection, skills development, and change management - everything your teams need to adopt AI with confidence.

Working Backwards for AI

Apply Amazon's Working Backwards methodology to your AI initiatives. Start with the customer problem, write the press release from the future, and pressure-test assumptions before investing in solutions. Prevents the most common AI failure: building technology nobody asked for.

Executive AI alignment

Get your leadership team on the same page about AI priorities, risks, and investment. Facilitated sessions that move beyond hype and fear to concrete decisions about where to start, how to measure success, and what to say no to.

Who this is for

This is for executive teams and innovation leaders at mid-to-large enterprises who want to move from experimentation to structured AI adoption. Whether you are just starting or looking to scale existing initiatives, the engagement is tailored to where you are today and where you need to go.

I have worked with teams across technology, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, financial services, and the public sector - at organizations like Novo Nordisk, Volvo, KONE, HID Global at Assa Abloy, Knowit, Orkla, and Danske Bank.

How it works

Discovery call

A free 30-minute conversation to understand your situation, goals, and constraints. No commitment - just clarity on whether there is a fit.

Tailored proposal

Within a week, you receive a proposal with scope, approach, timeline, and investment. Engagements range from focused two-day strategy sprints to multi-month advisory programs.

Collaborative workshops

Working sessions with your team - not presentations. We map opportunities, pressure-test assumptions, and build the strategy together so your team owns it when we are done.

4

Concrete deliverables

You walk away with a prioritized AI roadmap, governance guidelines, and implementation recommendations. Not a 100-page report - a plan your team can act on.
