"Humans were always far better at inventing tools than using them wisely."

Yuval Harari captures what many experience currently at work: the gap between AI capability and strategic implementation.

 

I help political organizations, associations and companies deploy AI in business and communications. My goal: to give teams a powerful AI companion that frees them up for meaningful work.


Because human strengths matter more than ever.

“Pionier bei KI in der  politischen Kommunikation” (KOM Magazin)

My Background

Started as a reporter at 16. +13 years in journalism. Worked at Germany's leading outlets: dpa, BILD, Spiegel Online, NDR. From deep-dive investigations to breaking news. Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Paris, Brussels. 


My Story

Government parliamentary spokesperson and Head of Communication. Explored AI potential in political communications as early as 2022. First communications director in Germany to deploy AI for a parliamentary group. 


Co-initiated Germany's first hackathon against disinformation and deepfakes ("Politechathon") together with Eric Dauenhauer, assembling +100 top experts to develop solutions for the threats and opportunities of political AI.


My Mission

The „Politechathon“ was the catalyst for us to found Politagents: the first AI consulting agency that brings together excellence in technology, politics, and communication. 


As a consultant, I show organizations how AI works in practice through workshops, keynotes, podcasts, and product development across political, business, and societal contexts.

 

The rapid pace of technological change electrifies me and its profound impact on each of us. What drives me: how we can keep AI responsible and human-centered, even in times of massive disruption.
