About | Research, strategy & commercialisation
Technical depth. Commercial perspective.
My work connects AI and robotics research with product direction, commercial opportunities and partnerships.
Research, strategy and the work between them.
I am Strategy and Partnerships Manager at Sony AI. My background combines technology scouting at Sony, strategy and partnerships at Sony AI, and AI leadership at F&P Robotics, alongside a PhD in robotics and computer vision and an Executive MBA.
That combination shapes how I approach a technical claim, a partnership opportunity or a research-to-market decision: understand the evidence, connect it to the business context and define a practical next step.
Based in Switzerland, I work with international teams in English. I am also the Founder and Host of TechDrive Zürich, speaking with founders, researchers and operators across the Swiss technology ecosystem.
