From the ice to the cloud.

I played professional hockey for Eisbären Berlin, Dresdner Eislöwen and Bayreuth Tigers. In those years SAP was the name on the Mannheim arena, and nothing more.

I studied while I was still playing. An injury ended the playing career and started the switch. The through-line is data: as a player I generated it. Now I help companies collect, structure and analyze theirs. Based in Berlin, working across DACH.

Three principles about AI in SAP
- Start with the decision. If a model does not change a decision or remove a concrete piece of work, it does not belong in the process.
- Bound the model. It can propose. Posting, paying, and changing master data stay with people and deterministic checks.
- Leave the ERP as the system of record. What sits beside it writes results back, and those results stay auditable.
