Interactive Modeling

From scaling tech to modeling the Energiewende

I spent 5 years bringing Google Fiber to profitability. Now I'm building interactive models to leverage the full power of AI and help others. First use case: energy systems, storage economics, and the path to carbon neutrality.

From Tech Growth to AI Models and Energy Transition

I'm an economist by training who spent a decade scaling technology companies. Most recently, I led planning and forecasting at Google Fiber, where I managed a multibillion dollar P&L and helped drive the business to EBITDA profitability — growing from 400k to 1M+ subscribers.

Now I'm shifting my focus to AI driven modelling. Because let’s face it: models that I wrote to raise capital 5 or 10 years ago, can now be built much quicker with the use of AI bots.

I’m sharing some of my private work here. For those starting out in tech or needing inspiration. Please reach out if you have feedback, questions or are interested in collaborations.

Currently, I’m researching and experimenting with energy market models and use cases with a friend who builds wind parks. Check out the interactive V2G dashboard! Coming next: automating reporting data pipelines…

Why Energy?

01

Similar Business Models

Both utilities and ISPs require heavy upfront investment (fiber networks or power plants), then monetize through monthly subscriptions. The economic fundamentals are nearly identical.

02

Forecasting is Everything

At Google Fiber, I led planning and forecasting. In energy, forecasting is the business— balancing supply and demand to avoid imbalance penalties. The technical skills transfer directly.

03

Mission-Driven Work

I started my career in ESG investments at KfW (German Development Bank). The Energiewende combines a lot of goals I care about: reducing dependence on fossil fuel autocracies, protecting vulnerable communities from pollution, and mitigating climate change.
