Three talks
Scaling B2B software in the AI era
How AI changes the cost structure, pricing and defensibility of software companies at the same time, and what boards and investors take from that for their growth plans. With numbers from my own cost calculator and from 20 years of operating leadership.
AI pricing models: the AI price ladder from token to outcome
Why the token price misleads, how the five steps of the AI price ladder shift the payment risk and what buyers should negotiate before the next AI invoice.
AI agents, regulation and speed: build the guardrails, then drive fast
What the EU AI Act asks of companies, where AI agents operate software without a user interface and how governance becomes a lever for speed. Given at BVMW Bavaria 2026.
