1. What inspired you to join Nexus Luxembourg for its second edition?

   
   

Nexus brings together passionate innovators and decision-makers in an open, forward-thinking environment. I wanted to be part of these conversations that challenge current models and help shape the future of technology in Luxembourg and beyond.

2. What’s one tech prediction for the future that sounds crazy, but you believe in?

I believe we will one day be able to “think” software into existence; using brain-computer interfaces to design, code, and test applications with pure thought.

No screen, no keyboard — just intention turned into execution. 

3. What’s one thing tech still hasn’t fixed that it should have by now?

True interoperability. Despite all our advances, connecting systems, data, and platforms across different organizations and industries remains overly complex, slow, and expensive.

4. If AI could help with one everyday task, what should it be?

Managing and prioritizing communications, emails, messages, notifications to reduce noise and let people focus on what truly matters.
