How did you get to become an expert in your key topics?
Working over decades within different companies, projects and clients enriched by education from university (PhD in AI). But as always, the most I’ve learned by delivering projects. Only by using and implementing technologies you understand in detail what’s possible and where are the borders of certain solutions. Very important point right now in the context of AI. Exchange within and outside organization with leading experts and influencers.
