I'm an AI Project Lead, and for nine years that's mostly been my job: take a half-formed idea, find out fast whether it's any good, and get a working version in front of real people. This site is my application for Project Manager, AI Initiatives at Timesworld in Dubai.
I've spent nine years in the messy early part of building products, where there are plenty of ideas, not much certainty, and a team that has to keep moving anyway. Honestly, it's my favourite place to work. Here's how that lines up with what you're after.
I'll take an idea from a rough sketch to something that's actually launched, setting the goals and the deadlines as we go. I've done it as a founder and as a product lead, so I know how it feels when it's your own neck on the line.
Proof: delivered a CHF 100M+ platform from concept to go-live at ifolor; took WePractice from idea to launch and scale.
Keeping data, engineering, design and product pointed at the same goal, and translating between the team and the people upstairs. That bridge is where I'm most useful.
Proof: led design, tech and marketing plus external partners at ifolor, reporting to C-level.
Build a small version, put it in front of someone real, and let the evidence tell us what to do next. I work with AI hands-on every day, so I have a good sense of what's quick to try and what isn't.
Proof: ran market pilots and MVPs at Die Mobiliar; built Pedal Peak with AI workflows (Claude, Cursor, n8n).
Clear goals, a few metrics that matter, and workshops that actually go somewhere. I use agile because it helps, not because the calendar says so.
Proof: owned budget and KPI tracking at ifolor; ran customer-journey workshops and design sprints across roles.
AI Project Lead in Zurich, open to relocating to Dubai. I turn business opportunities into real products. German and Swiss German native, English fluent, French conversational.

Here's a rough cut of how I'd run the pipeline. It's one place to take an AI idea from a quick look at the field all the way to a shipped MVP, with the evidence to back each call. Four stages, have a click through.
Innovation starts with a steady flow of ideas, not one big brainstorm. Forge keeps a live funnel from a scan of the field to a short list ready to validate.
Watch AI, automation, IoT and cloud for what's becoming real.
Collect ideas from research, clients, partners and the team.
Group them into themes worth a closer look.
Pick the few with real pull to validate next.
Pick an idea. Forge scores it on impact, feasibility and evidence, then gives a clear call: proceed, validate more, or park.
Once an idea earns a go, Forge turns it into a short, time-boxed plan: sprint, prototype, test. Pick an idea to see its path.
One view of the whole pipeline, so leadership sees where the bets are and what's shipping. Sample quarter.
How much of the pipeline reaches a shipped MVP each quarter, indexed. Open the tab to animate.
A concept is nice, but someone has to run it. Here's roughly how I'd spend my first three months, from finding my feet to getting a first thing shipped, without slowing the team down.
