Kolja de Cuveland, PhD

My work sits at the intersection of domain expertise and technical AI implementation. I've spent years in finance, sustainability advisory, and academic AI research, and I now apply that cross-disciplinary background to help organizations build AI solutions that fit their actual world — not a generic template of it.

Experience

Deep domain knowledge in the industries I serve, and the technical ability to design and build AI solutions that reflect how those industries actually work.
