I work with leadership teams on their most important projects: AI strategy, rebranding, transformation, and keynote production. I go in, build the process, lead the project, and stay until the result holds. I take on a few mandates each year, all through referral.
AI is not something I had to learn my way into. I grew up with computers in my bedroom, from a C64 through every machine up to the Pentium. Technology was always the starting point, never the obstacle. Today I use AI tools intensively, build with them, speak about them on stage, and write my AI newsletter.
My first career was in front of the camera: presenter and actor at RTL, trained in journalism at the Grimme Akademie. Then, speaker coach for more than 350 TEDx speakers, Design Thinking lecturer at the HPI, strategic consultant for WIRED Germany, and nearly ten years in the startup ecosystem around Axel Springer and Climate-KIC. For IFA Berlin, I led the complete rebranding for its 100th anniversary, from brand strategy to the new logo. For the Lufthansa Group, I rescued a failed transformation. For Personio, I have produced the CEO keynote for years.
Alongside the mandates, I produce the podcast Die Ole Tillmann Show and invest as a business angel, among others, in Umane Athletic Health Club and GlassDollar.
I am always looking for organizations and leaders facing something complex who need a strategic partner: someone who thinks with them, builds with them, and delivers.
