Elevator Pitch

I am the Managing Director of Fernau Präzisionstechnik GmbH, combining hands-on industrial experience with the responsible implementation of artificial intelligence. At Fernau, we are systematically developing traditional precision manufacturing further. We automate administrative processes, introduce AI-supported production planning, and continuously improve our ERP system based on the real requirements of daily manufacturing operations. For us, AI is not an end in itself. It must deliver measurable improvements in time, cost, quality, and transparency. Through the brand “Der KI-Auditor,” which I created and made available to Fernau, I explain how companies can use artificial intelligence in a secure, commercially viable, and transparent way. As a Senior Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer for ISO/IEC 42001, as well as a Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer for ISO/IEC 27001, I combine governance expertise with practical leadership experience in industry. I add value to a network whenever complex topics involving AI, digital transformation, governance, or industrial processes need to be translated into clear business decisions. I contribute practical experience in manufacturing, restructuring, ERP development, process optimization, and corporate management. I also believe in sharing knowledge, experience, and valuable connections openly and directly. My greatest passion is turning complex technologies into practical solutions that work in real business environments. I am particularly passionate about the combination of industry, leadership, automation, and responsible AI. My motto: “Process first, then tools, then AI.” And equally important: “Practice over hype.”
