Hi, I'm Klemen.
I work with teams and leaders on difficult problems — situations where things are moving fast, information is incomplete, and decisions actually matter. I'm at my best when I'm part of the team, not outside it.
My background is in building products, leading teams, and consulting — usually at the point where technology meets how people actually work. Right now, a lot of that work involves AI: helping organisations figure out where it genuinely helps and where it doesn't.
I like working with people who care about doing the work well: who value clarity over noise, ownership over posturing, and progress over perfection. I'm most useful when there's real complexity on the table and no obvious playbook.
How I work
Hands-on by default. Asking questions early, surfacing problems before they harden, and helping the team put just enough structure in place to move with confidence rather than force.
Structure matters — but only when it earns its place. Process exists to support good work, not replace thinking, and it adapts when reality changes.
The work usually lives between people, product, and technology. Being comfortable in all three — and staying close to the team through each — is what makes the difference.

The Racing Yacht
Steve Jobs called the computer a 'bicycle for the mind'—but that metaphor no longer fits. In the age of AI, leaders need to think less like cyclists and more like sailors. This piece explores how augmentation requires collective intelligence, turning ambient signals into strategic advantage.
