Hi, I’m Philippe.

Raised on the Danube, at home on Lake Zurich. I run an industrial SME and use AI in day-to-day work, not on slides. This is where I write down what sticks.

My story

From the Danube to Lake Zurich

I grew up in Krems an der Donau, in Austria’s Wachau valley, among vineyards and the river. Even then I was sure there was more beyond the next hill. That’s where it pulled me, always a little further west: university and my first years in Innsbruck, then projects across Austria, Poland, and Liechtenstein.

Liechtenstein became the turning point, for a reason no project plan had foreseen: that’s where I met my wife.

And so I ended up in Switzerland, where I now live on Lake Zurich and run the company. In 2019 I took eight months off and traveled, Sri Lanka, the Caribbean, North America. Two things stuck with me: I need less than I thought. And good work doesn’t depend on a desk.

The route so far

Always a little further west.

A notebook is slowly taking shape here: notes from leadership, tech, and training. The first entry is coming soon.
