Dilem bridges the gap between AI technology and human‑centered organisational change, turning innovation into real business value while empowering people and communities to grow together.

What are you currently working on — and why does it matter to you personally?

I'm currently completing my Master's alongside my work at BMFTR. Besides, I volunteer as co-lead of the Berlin chapter of one of Europe's largest tech communities and act as a thought leader as well as moderator of conferences on AI, digital transformation, and the future of technology.

This topic matters deeply to me because I've seen organizations across different sectors—from SAP to the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space—invest significantly in AI while often capturing only a fraction of its potential value. My goal is to help bridge that gap by translating technological innovation into meaningful, human-centered transformation. I believe the future will be shaped not only by better technology, but by our ability to implement it in ways that empower people and create lasting impact.

What excites you most about working in AI right now?

We're at the moment where the question shifts from "can AI do this?" to "why aren't humans and organizations ready for it?" That's the interesting problem. The bottleneck is never the technology anymore. It's people, management structures, incentives. I get to work exactly at that intersection — and that's where we can change things for the better, for us humans. 

As a third-generation immigrant, how has your family's story shaped how you think about opportunity?

I am very grateful for the steps my family took to help me live an independent life. That rewired how I think about ambition. It's never just about personal success. It's about building things that create doors for others. Every community I co-lead, every tool I build, every stage I speak on — it's leverage, not just for me.

What belief about yourself have you had to unlearn?

That I needed to wait until I was more qualified, more experienced, more senior before I could have a real opinion. Unlearning that was everything. I was moderating panels at ministries and speaking at conferences while still a student. My mindset and my energy levels are my number one priority. 

How do you deal with comparison online?

That is a highly relevant topic which is being underestimated. Social media shows only a fraction of life. Oftentimes, it does not show the challenges and only the quick wins. What helped most is being fascinated  with my own learnings — am I building, am I delivering what I said I want? So my mantra: Start investing in myself and being genuinely happy for everything and everyone I can meet and encourage on your way. 

What do you hope the future of work looks like for the next generation of women?

AI and the future of tech in general should always enable us to live a happier and  more fulfilling life. Thus, I am confident that we can start trying new endeavors, daring more and caring more for others. In a nutshell, technology should serve humans: to cheer for each other's success and help each other to grow all along the exciting times we are in.

What does your ideal work bag need to help you feel prepared and confident?

It needs to carry my laptop, my notebook, and nothing I have to think about. I move between a university, a community event, a conference stage, and a coffee meeting — sometimes in one day. The bag has to be structured enough that I'm never digging, but elegant enough that it works in every room.

What does #lovewhatyoudo mean to you right now?

It means finding alignment between curiosity, purpose, and impact. I'm still on that journey, and that's exactly what makes it exciting: I get to learn, build, and grow every day.

A driver in my work is togetherness: I believe that nothing meaningful happens in isolation. The best ideas, opportunities, and innovations come from people connecting, sharing knowledge, and lifting each other up.
