Helping regulated and public organisations adopt AI they can trust, from landscape assessment to team adoption, on your side of the table.

Let's talk

About

Most organisations know they need to do something about AI. Very few know where to start. That is the gap I fill.

I work as a Fractional Chief AI Officer for public organisations, professional services firms, financial institutions and law firms. I help them understand the AI landscape honestly, define what AI should do for them, choose and supervise the right tools and contractors, build AI literacy across their teams, and stay alongside them until adoption is real. Because I have built production AI systems myself in regulated environments, I know what vendors will tell you, what they will not, and what to verify independently. I founded an AI company whose clients include a top-10 international law firm, I built a university Data Science programme from scratch, and I have led more than 600,000 euros of public research funding.

How I Help

Most organisations know they need to do something about AI. Very few know where to start. The vendors will answer that question, but in their own interest. I come in on your side of the table.

Fractional Chief AI Officer

Serious AI leadership without a full-time hire. I help you understand the landscape honestly, define what AI should do for your organisation, choose and supervise the right tools and contractors, and stay alongside your team until adoption is real. Engagements: ongoing fractional mandates, project-based advisory, or structured pilots with defined outcomes.

AI Literacy and Training

I design and deliver AI literacy programmes for professional and public-sector teams with no prior AI background. Every programme is built around transparency, traceability and human oversight as working principles, and satisfies the AI literacy obligation under Article 4 of the EU AI Act with documented outcomes. 93% overall satisfaction rate.

AI you can be accountable for

I help you build or choose AI systems that are honest about what they know and do not know, so the people using them can trust them and remain responsible for the outcome. Deployment options that keep your data inside your organisation, aligned with GDPR and the EU AI Act.

Enidia AI

In 2023 I co-founded Enidia AI, building trustworthy, on-premise AI for regulated industries. Clients include a top-10 international law firm, where a production document review was cut from about 25 hours to about 4.

Research and funded projects

As principal investigator I have led more than 600,000 euros of public research funding, including an FNR CORE grant, Luxembourg's most competitive instrument. My access-to-justice work built AI that helps the public navigate the law, including a patent law assistant.

Academic standing

33 international refereed conference papers and 3 journal papers, 402 citations, h-index 12. Reviewer for international journals and for Horizon and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, with a best-paper award among my co-authored work. I have supervised PhD, master, and bachelor students and speak regularly at industry and academic events.

Built to Be Trusted

Generic AI sounds equally confident whether it is right or wrong. For legal work, that is the whole problem. This is the standard I build to.

Traceable, never a black box. Every conclusion can be checked against your own documents, in seconds.
Nothing invented. If an answer is not in your documents, you are told so, instead of being handed a confident guess.
Complete, not just fast. Built so the detail buried deep in a long document is not quietly missed.
You stay in control. Every output is reviewed and signed off by a lawyer before it is used.
Inside your walls. On-premise, on open-weight models, GDPR and the EU AI Act by design. Your documents never leave.
An answer you can sign your name to. Correct, complete, and transparent, or it shows you exactly where any doubt lives.
Proven in production: at a top-10 international law firm, a document review went from about 25 hours to about 4.
