Have you advertised a role such as Head of AI or AI project manager, or are you planning one? I take on the role as your interim AI lead: I prioritise your AI initiatives, deliver the first ones myself and guide your team into using them. You start within weeks instead of months and decide afterwards which role you really need.
| Task | What you get |
|---|---|
| AI roadmap and use casesCollect ideas, rate them by value, effort and risk, set the order. | What you get:A short list that management can decide on. |
| Business case and measurementDefine key figures (KPIs) before the start, measure usage and time saved. | What you get:You see what AI delivers before you invest further. |
| DeliveryBuild prototypes and take them into operation, with AI agents, automation (n8n, low-code) and connections to your systems. | What you get:A first workflow that runs, instead of a report. |
| Adoption in the teamWorkshops, training, rules for everyday use, contact people in the team. | What you get:Your people really use the tools. |
| Data protection and governanceWhich data may go where, approval paths, EU AI Act, Swiss FADP (nDSG); aligned with IT, data protection and legal. | What you get:Clear rules that make every decision faster. |
| Leading the people involvedBusiness units, IT and external providers around one table, project plan, budget, deadlines. | What you get:One person who has the overview. |
| HandoverDocumentation, guides, onboarding of the person who takes over permanently later. | What you get:No knowledge that leaves with me. |
| Comparison | Interim AI lead (mandate) | Permanent hire |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Interim AI lead (mandate):within weeks | Permanent hire:after advertising, selection and notice period, often months |
| Scope | Interim AI lead (mandate):1 to 3 days per week (20 to 60%), adjustable | Permanent hire:usually 80 to 100% |
| Commitment | Interim AI lead (mandate):at least 3 months, then monthly | Permanent hire:open-ended |
| Experience | Interim AI lead (mandate):building and running my own AI products (see below) | Permanent hire:depends on the applicant |
| Knowledge afterwards | Interim AI lead (mandate):documented and handed over | Permanent hire:stays in the company |
| Risk | Interim AI lead (mandate):low, because you decide again after each stage | Permanent hire:a wrong hire costs time and money |
I will tell you honestly if a permanent hire is the better solution for you. In that case I support the job advertisement and the onboarding of the person.

You describe your situation. I tell you honestly whether a mandate fits.
Starting point, use cases, roadmap, business case.
Scope, days per week, stages.
After each stage you see a result and take part in the decision.
You decide whether it continues, is taken over internally or ends.
Usually within a few weeks. The intro call is normally arranged within 24 hours.
Remote and on site in Eastern Switzerland (Thurgau, St. Gallen), in Zurich and in Zug.
No. The role can be filled on an interim basis even without a job advertisement.
For the duration of the mandate I take over their tasks: roadmap, prioritisation, delivery, adoption in the team and rules for everyday use. Your digital transformation can also be approached in stages this way. Which role you fill permanently afterwards, we clarify in the assessment.
I work with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Graph, for example to connect mailbox and calendar. Which tools fit your situation, we clarify in the assessment.
Which data may go where, we clarify before delivery and put it in writing. Where possible, data stays in Switzerland or the EU.
Responsibility for professional decisions stays with you. I deliver the draft, the implementation and the reasoning.
I support the job advertisement, the selection and the onboarding, and hand over knowledge and documents.
Describe your situation. You get an honest assessment, even if it says that a permanent hire fits better. Free and non-binding.
