Andreas Proesch: Vice President & Head of the AKER AI Unit

I work on the interface between frontier technologies and business model development, both as a technology operator, advisor, and angel investor 

Having spent more than a decade working with companies optimizing and enhancing their business strategy through the use of technology, I have seen first hand the enormous difference technology can have on markets, societies, and businesses

Trained as a robotics engineer, I have spent most of my time working at the interface between technology, business, and academia by working with executive management teams, private equity investors, merchant traders, operators, and venture capitalists on turning business strategy into business impact

I now work with frontier industrial DataOps software with the aim of building autonomous industries that will be more sustainable, efficient, and productive
