AI Strategy
Prior to joining the Revolut "rocket ship," I was CCO of Mobius Labs, a German start-up working with some of the brightest AI scientists in Europe.Since then, I've learned to build best practices into commercial teams using AI, machine learning and LLMs. Not for hype, but for force multiplication using modern practices to amplify the impact of small teams.While AI poses a huge opportunity for most, it's a minefield for the uninitiated. Get sound advice before setting its potential loose in your business.⸻Topics to explore:
Designing commercial strategies that incorporate AI as a core value driver
Auditing and implementing sales, marketing, and success tools that amplify human output
Messaging and product-market feedback for AI-driven products
Translating complex AI capabilities into narratives that sell

Mapping how AI is shifting your market and where to position yourself accordingly
