I am Andreas Erdmann. Erdmann Advisory is my independent advisory offering for AI governance and transformation, based in Leinfelden-Echterdingen in the Stuttgart region, Germany. From 2 November 2026, I support industrial and IT services organisations through advisory, ongoing fractional advisory and interim management, across Germany and DACH, remotely and on site by agreement.

I bring more than 20 years of leadership experience in industrial IT, managed services and transformation. My work in organisational AI governance dates from 2023. I connect management accountability with the practical implementation of roles, decisions and controls.

Building and coordinating an enterprise-wide portfolio of more than 50 AI initiatives, including a governance roadmap, stakeholder alignment and preparation of key management decisions.

Designing and delivering more than 30 governance and capability-building sessions for over 200 employees from business, technology and control functions.

Practical work on GenAI and agentic pilots, focusing on boundaries, responsibilities, human oversight and a controlled transition to operation.

More than 20 years of experience in leadership, technology, operations and transformation, from strategic realignment to implementation in complex international organisations.

Responsibility for organisations with up to around 170 employees and approximately EUR 40 million in revenue, as well as demanding transformation programmes with measurable productivity and business improvements.

Leading cross-functional programmes connecting business, IT, operations, finance and regulated control functions.

Delivering complex technology and infrastructure programmes with demanding requirements for information security, data protection, evidence and reliable operational processes.

Leading large programmes across organisations, with internal and external stakeholders and clear requirements for governance, decision-making and risk management.

Focus complex topics on the decisions, risks and dependencies that matter.

Develop concepts with existing structures, available resources and practical implementation in mind.

Clear work packages, decisions, responsibilities and progress reporting provide transparency and commitment.

Experience should provide direction
