Mathias Jakob

I'm Mathias, CTO and co-founder of MAIA in Leipzig. With our team, we're building an enterprise AI platform that helps industrial companies across the DACH region put their experience and expert knowledge to work, in the places where generic AI tools tend to fall short.

I've been working in software development for nearly 15 years, in many different roles along the way. What drives me today are the questions where engineering meets business: architecture, security and compliance, engineering teams, and how AI can actually deliver value in industrial mid-market companies, not as a demo, but in day-to-day operations.

Beyond MAIA, I work with industrial and energy companies as a technical advisor and run technical due diligence in M&A processes.

Away from the desk, you'll usually find me on a road bike, with a particular love for long distances.
