What happens when a musician learns to think in algorithms.

Classical guitarist turned technology strategist. Former Managing Director of the Herbert von Karajan estate, where he spent a decade managing one of the most iconic brands in classical music and learning how institutions adapt (or don't) to technological change.

Then came Beethoven X. The project that changed everything. Leading a team that used AI to complete Beethoven's unfinished 10th Symphony, commissioned by Deutsche Telekom, premiered in Bonn, covered by 2,000+ media outlets worldwide. It proved that AI and human creativity aren't just compatible. They're better together.

Now, through The Mindshift, he brings that same approach to business: understand the technology deeply enough to know what it can really do, then help leaders make it work in their world.

Not a technologist who learned business. Not a consultant who read about AI. Someone who's lived in both worlds and can translate between them.

He also co-founded the Sonophilia Foundation, a Munich-based non-profit supporting research into creativity, science, and technology. And he still makes electronic music when he thinks nobody's listening.
