Contemporary architecture as a symbol of coherence and progress
About Identitylab

We build organisations that are ready for tomorrow.

Identitylab helps organisations connect people, knowledge and technology. That creates more clarity, speed and lasting impact — with technology as an enabler and people at the centre.

Why Identitylab exists

Complexity grows faster than organisations can follow.

Organisations invest in AI, cloud platforms and digital tools. Yet lasting value often stays out of reach, because knowledge, people, processes and technology move apart from each other.

Information keeps growing, systems pile up and knowledge stays trapped in heads or departments. While the outside world accelerates, decisions slow down. The AI hype increases the pressure to act, but not necessarily the clarity about what is truly needed.

Identitylab exists to bring that coherence back. Not by adding yet another tool, but by reconnecting the whole. That way we build not a one-off solution, but an organisation that can continuously learn, adapt and improve.

Not more technology. An organisation that is ready for it.
Our philosophy

Everything starts with connection.

When people, knowledge, technology and impact reinforce each other, an organisation emerges that decides better and adapts faster.

PeopleKnowledgeTechnologyImpact
01

People

The knowledge, experience and talent in every organisation. Change only works when people understand it, support it and help improve it.

02

Knowledge

We make organisational intelligence findable, reliable and usable — for better decisions and responsible AI.

03

Technology

Technology supports people and processes. It is a means to move forward, never the starting point or the goal itself.

04

Impact

Every choice must create demonstrable business value: more clarity, stronger collaboration and an organisation that keeps learning.

The person behind Identitylab

I look at technology through the lens of business, people and possibilities.

My background combines engineering, industrial technology, commercial development and entrepreneurship. Working across different sectors and business environments taught me to look beyond the technology itself.

The important questions are what an organisation wants to achieve, where it gets stuck, which knowledge it needs and how its people can work together more effectively. That perspective determines how I look at AI and digital transformation today.

People create progress. Knowledge gives it direction. Technology accelerates it.

That principle underlies everything Identitylab does: change only works when people, knowledge and technology reinforce each other.

A broad perspective, built over time

From engineering to entrepreneurship.

Not a full CV, but the milestones that shape how Identitylab looks at transformation today.

  1. 01

    Engineering & industrial foundations

    Master's degree in industrial engineering, with a background in chemistry, entrepreneurship and industrial design. As a design & project engineer at Jacobs Engineering (2011–2014) I worked on technically complex industrial projects.

  2. 02

    Technology & industry

    Technical sales at ATEM/Wieland and business development at engineering firm ACE. Then Siemens (2017–2024), in building technology and commercial development, and Schneider Electric (2024–2026), in industrial automation, industrial software and digital transformation for the process industry.

  3. 03

    Business & growth

    Years of connecting customer needs with commercial strategy, partnerships and execution: business development, sales, marketing and go-to-market. Today I am also Business Leader Growth & Innovation at PDM Group — a professional role that is fully separate from Identitylab.

  4. 04

    Entrepreneurship & Identitylab

    In 2012 I founded Identitylab. More than ten years of branding, marketing, design, websites and digital experiences — always with the same question: how does this genuinely move an organisation forward?

  5. 05

    Identitylab 2.0

    Today Identitylab is growing into a strategic partner for AI, data, knowledge, digital transformation and organisational intelligence. We help SMEs understand where they stand, where AI and digitalisation create real value, and what needs to be in place before those opportunities can be realised responsibly.

Why Identitylab 2.0 exists

AI is changing what organisations can do. The real question is whether they are ready for it.

AI creates enormous opportunities, but meaningful impact does not come from tools alone. Organisations must understand where AI can create value, whether their information and processes are ready for it, how risks are managed and how people can use the technology effectively.

Identitylab brings those elements together. We help organisations make clearer choices, build the right foundations and move forward with direction.

Our mission

Helping organisations become connected, intelligent and ready for the future.

01from complexityto clarity
02from scattered knowledgeto connected intelligence
03from isolated projectsto sustainable transformation
04from implementing technologyto building organisational capability
05from AI experimentsto supported AI adoption
Our vision

The organisation of tomorrow learns faster than its environment changes.

It is adaptive, knowledge-driven and human-centred. Leaders have visibility of what matters. Teams find reliable knowledge the moment they need it. Processes and systems connect with each other.

AI strengthens the work within clear boundaries. Not as a replacement for human expertise, but as leverage for better decisions, operational excellence and sustainable growth. That is how the organisation becomes connected and resilient.

06

Innovation & transformation teams

That want to turn experiments into supported organisational capability.

We do not just deliver projects.

We build organisations that keep improving, long after the project is finished. That means transferring knowledge, strengthening ownership and designing every solution so your people can move forward with it.
