Jack Lampka

Simplifies & demystifies AI

Jack Lampka simplifies and demystifies complex artificial intelligence (AI) topics for executives and data leaders to gain business value from AI, with pragmatism built on 27 years of data & AI expertise.

Based on his successes and failures, he is delivering keynotes and advising companies on the human factor of AI adoption. It’s no longer data or technology that are roadblocks to AI adoption. It's the people: people developing AI solutions and people using them.

Jack has built and led data teams, developed data strategies, and accelerated AI adoption. He has enabled companies to turn data into business impact, supported executives with data-driven decisions, and cultivated data mindset through data literacy programs. All that has started after his MBA from the University of Washington in Seattle, USA and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from RWTH Aachen, Germany and continued in several doer and then ten years of leader roles at large high-tech companies (Tektronix & HP in the USA), pharma (MSD in Germany), and a startup in between.
