My Non-Linear Career and Cross-Pollination
My journey isn't just a list of achievements, it's a testament to the power of a non-linear career path. Like an infinite loop, my diverse expertise spanning European law, marketing, corporate strategy, higher education leadership, and cutting-edge AI consulting continuously enriches my knowledge base. This cross-pollination of seemingly disparate fields fuels unique insights and fosters truly innovative solutions, demonstrating how boundless curiosity and adaptability lead to breakthrough thinking and enduring value.
This non-linearity is not a deviation, but the strategic fusion of distinct disciplines, forming a composite strength far greater than the sum of its individual parts.
What I Do
My greatest strength lies in understanding diverse disciplines and operating at the intersections where they converge. While siloed approaches often result in fragmented solutions and missed opportunities, my multidisciplinary background spanning law, business, technology, and education enables me to bridge gaps, synthesize insights, and uncover opportunities others might miss.
