Sebastian Kister architects AI systems at Volkswagen Group. He focuses on building agentic organizations that actually harmonize with human teams — reducing complexity and getting products to market faster.

After spending a decade running startups, he now guides enterprise leaders on realistic AI adoption. His talk on the agentic enterprise breaks down how organizations can integrate AI securely while maintaining European data sovereignty and avoiding the automation paradox.

When he isn’t designing predictable AI pipelines, he travels globally delivering keynotes on platform culture.
