AI-accelerated
senior consulting.

Senior consultant with tailored AI tools instead of off-the-shelf software. For mid-market companies that need to ship CSRD, ESG data and ratings in weeks — without building a reporting department.

What I do
  • 01 CSRD & Sustainability Report Sprints ›

    First-time report or update — AI-assisted from data collection to draft. 6-8 weeks instead of 6 months. Auditor-ready output without a 10-person reporting team.

  • 02 ESG Data & Rating Automation ›

    CDP, EcoVadis, supplier and bank questionnaires — built once as a pipeline that answers itself for years. Stop redoing the same questionnaires every quarter.

  • 03 AI Tooling for Sustainability Teams ›

    Tailored AI tools for your sustainability function — data collection, supplier bots, reporting assistants. Built for your data and processes, not off-the-shelf software. Solo sustainability managers ship like a team of five.

Adjacent on request: AI workshops, audit coordination, CO₂ accounting (Scope 1-3), ISO 50001 / energy management.

  • ✓ 2-8 week sprints · fixed-price · no FTE commitment
  • ✓ CSRD reports delivered for Uniper & Kion
  • ✓ Tailored AI tools — no off-the-shelf software
  • ✓ 10+ years sustainability — Deloitte audit & consulting, then corporate interim

How AI enables a connected sustainability function

Target picture · projected

Sustainability work that's connected to the world in real time — from the one-off reporting sprint to continuous steering. Data and signals flow in continuously, materiality condenses continuously, reporting falls out as a byproduct.

Plants, procurement, compliance, sustainability — all in the same workspace, without leaving their tools. The work shifts: from collecting to steering, from reporting to deciding.
