AI Consultant
AI consulting that
delivers results.
Kurt Lehder — AI consultant and implementation partner for Swiss companies. Based in Thun, active throughout Switzerland and EU capitals.
My approach
Strategy and execution — not just presentations.
I don't just report what's possible. I build it. Every project ends with a productive system that your team understands, can operate, and that delivers measurable results.
That means: no outsourcing to sub-agencies, no black-box solutions, no vendor lock-in. Everything in your infrastructure — explainable, maintainable, owned by you.
Diagnosis first
I understand your processes before recommending technology.
Execution
No outsourcing. I build — agile, documented, explainable.
Measurement
Every project has KPIs. ROI as a number — not a slide.
Knowledge transfer
Your team learns alongside. AI competence stays in-house.
Methodology
Three phases. Measurable results.
