I design and deliver corporate AI training and AI upskilling for employees — from lunch & learn sessions and in-company workshops to company-wide AI literacy programs, AI transformation tracks, and expert-guided AI product development. I hold a research degree in Artificial Intelligence and spent 8 years building production systems — I teach the fundamentals I studied and the practice I live. 110+ organisations helped.
Why you need me
I'm a hands-on AI engineer with a research degree in Artificial Intelligence. I've spent 8 years building conversational AI systems that run in production, and helped 110+ organisations do the same.
That's what your team gets in the room: not slideware, but methodologies and frameworks tested on real systems, real users, and real failure modes.
My approach is multidisciplinary and holistic: technology, people, and process move together, with responsible AI practices built into every program - so adoption never comes at the cost of trust.
And I'm an experienced trainer: 2 online courses, 150+ students, and corporate trainings across Europe.
About me
I help organisations use and build AI that works in the real world - not just in demos. My work spans corporate AI training, AI literacy programs, AI audits, and keynote speaking.
I trained as a computational linguist, earned a research degree in Artificial Intelligence, and spent 8 years building production conversational AI systems. I teach AI ethics and guest lecture at the Rotterdam School of Management - which means I help teams think not just about whether their AI works, but whether it should.

Reviews
"Lena led a full-day workshop, bringing us up to speed on the latest in LLM chatbots, agent-driven solutions, and RAGs. She expertly balanced conversational design with technical depth, tailoring all content specifically to our use cases and architecture. The workshop provided clear, actionable insights that are already shaping our roadmap, and the energy in the room was fantastic."
