How I work
Clarity first
I start with goals and structure, not individual measures.
Delivery
I don’t just advise – I deliver, together with your team.
On equal terms
Precise, collaborative, reliable – without agency distance.

What I stand for: My values.
Expertise can be bought. How someone works and what they stand for decides whether a collaboration holds. Trust can’t be bought or staged – it grows through consistent, honest action. That’s what I care about.
Honest, not agreeable
I don’t promise anything I can’t deliver – and I name uncomfortable truths when they matter.
Reliable
When I take on a task, I do it conscientiously and responsibly. Never half-heartedly.
Sustainable, not quick
I don’t chase short-term wins at any cost, but solutions I can personally stand behind.
Curious & always learning
I listen before I judge, question how things connect – and keep learning, especially in a field that moves as fast as AI.
And outside work? Born in Berlin, on the move ever since – travelling is one of my great passions and keeps me curious. I think and act entrepreneurially and love building new things: several companies, my health and fitness – and, with just as much dedication, my dog. That urge to understand things and get stuck in comes with me into every project.
Working with Nils noticeably professionalised our marketing and communications – strategically sound and consistently delivered. He sets clear priorities and delivers results that matter. Strong on substance – and a person you genuinely enjoy working with, on equal terms.
Marco Piesik Freudenberg Further projects: What else I do.
I don’t just advise – I build and run things myself. These projects are my test bed and living proof that “finally possible” is not just a claim.
