I'm an MVP Data Platform and Super User in Power Bi Community: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/11211

Andreas Schlüter is a practitioner for process automation, AI and digital work. He supports organizations in using technology not as an end in itself, but as a practical and effective part of how work, processes and leadership actually function.

His focus lies on execution: how AI, automation and platforms can be integrated into everyday operations in a way that creates real value. Andreas combines strategic perspective with hands-on implementation and acts as a bridge between leadership, business teams and IT.

As a speaker, Andreas deliberately moves between two worlds. He addresses strategic questions around responsibility, decision-making and leadership in the age of AI, while also delivering concrete technical and operational sessions based on real-world projects. His talks range from C-level keynotes to deep-dive and hands-on formats covering process automation, the Power Platform and AI.

What characterizes his sessions is a clear stance: execution over hype. Complex topics are put into context rather than simplified, always with a strong focus on what actually works in practice.

Andreas is a Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer. He brings many years of project, consulting and speaking experience from mid-sized and enterprise environments and is known for making technology actionable rather than impressive.
