Speaking

Inspiring. Genuine. To the point.

As an ethics expert, I make complex ideas accessible. My talks combine academic depth with practical relevance – and create space for reflection. Whether keynote, workshop or panel: I design formats that leave a lasting impact.

Talks that resonate

When people hear “ethics,” they often think of abstract theory or wagging fingers.

I think of genuine engagement, unexpected perspectives – and an audience that starts to reflect.

My keynotes bring ethics into the here and now: clear, vivid, impactful.

I speak about things that may seem complex at first glance – and bring them to the stage with clarity, vivid examples, and a dash of humour.

Technology & Ethics

Technology promises efficiency, innovation – and at times, even justice. But behind the fascination lies a risk: that we begin to reduce the human, or try to replace them altogether.

I explore the ethical fault lines of artificial intelligence: when we delegate thinking to machines, when creativity becomes mere calculation, and when communication shifts from human to human to bot to bot.

I show what happens when we don’t just use technology, but let it decide what matters, and who matters.

Sustainability & Integrity

Sustainability is hailed as a future-proof ideal – but only as long as it doesn’t hurt.
In tougher times, it suddenly becomes negotiable. It gets rebranded, scaled back, or quietly buried.

I shed light on the mechanisms behind this shift: on greenwashing and greenhushing, on backpedaling, backbone, and promises that hold up to reality.

And on the question of how sustainability can stand firm when the tailwind turns to headwind.

Clarity in complexity

I build bridges between disciplines and speak from experience – in research, consulting, and teaching. My talks combine academic precision with real-world relevance – cutting across silos, making space for contradictions.
With vivid examples and original comparisons, I bring to light what many consider important, yet what rarely becomes truly understandable.

These are talks that don’t just explain what is – but reveal what matters.

How I speak – and why it resonates

I inspire without preaching. I spark reflection, and often a smile.

I speak with clarity, depth, and a sense of nuance.

And I bring energy to the stage. Not the kind that fizzles out, but the kind that opens up space for thought instead of offering simple answers.

Those who listen don’t leave with easy formulas, but with a clearer sense of what really matters.
