About Aida

I do decision integrity.

Decision authority becomes visible only under pressure.
In highly regulated systems – healthcare and life sciences, banking and financial markets – decision authority is not abstract. It is governance architecture.

This is where my work begins – where organisations call me to clarify who has the authority to decide when regulatory pressure, risk and accountability collide.

I assess decision authority – where decisions are actually formed, who can intervene in practice, where authority drifts, and what makes accountability defensible under audit or supervisory scrutiny.

Where AI shapes outcomes upstream, but accountability remains fully human.
Where governance frameworks assume control, but control is no longer where responsibility sits.

Because what can be documented is not necessarily what can be controlled.
And what can be explained after the fact is not the same as what was governed in real time.

🔹 My work focuses on:
– AI governance and regulatory risk
– Compliance and risk frameworks in high–stakes environments
– AML/CFT, KYC and transaction monitoring
– Vendor and third–party risk, including AI systems
– MDR–relevant health AI governance
– Executive training in high–stakes environments

As a Certified Mediator with an LL.M. and a CAS in Compliance Management from the University of Zurich (UZH), I draw on over two decades of senior leadership experience in high–pressure environments where law, risk and accountability meet.

I operate at board and executive levels, advising banks, fintechs, health and life sciences organisations, and digital players operating in Swiss and EU regulatory environments – where decisions are irreversible, governance becomes contested, exposure is real and responsibility cannot be delegated.

🔹 I also provide targeted Decision Authority Assessments for high–stakes situations, delivered through clearly scoped, regulator–ready outputs

    Zurich, Switzerland
    I provide targeted assessments for high–stakes situations, delivered through clearly scoped, regulator–ready outputs:

    🔹 AI Governance & Regulatory Risk Assessment

    – Identify governance gaps in AI use and deployment
    – Assess exposure under EU AI Act, FINMA expectations and MDR
    – Highlight implementation risks and accountability blind spots
    – Deliver a concise, board–ready risk overview

    🔹 Operational Governance & Vendor Risk Assessment

    – Map outsourced and AI–supported processes

    – Deliver clear control and governance recommendations

    🔹 Decision Authority & Accountability Assessment

    – Identify who actually makes decisions in critical processes
    – Map override, escalation and stopping power
    – Assess whether authority remains real at execution
    – Deliver regulator–ready authority structure and clarity

    🔹 Incident Authority Assessment

    – Reconstruct what happened after an AI, vendor or decision–related incident
    – Identify who had authority and where control failed
    – Assess what can be explained defensibly under audit, board or supervisory scrutiny
    – Deliver remediation priorities and a concise management summary

    🎯 TYPICAL SITUATIONS

    – AI influences decisions but ownership is unclear
    – Vendor–driven processes limit internal control
    – High–risk decisions must hold under audit or supervisory scrutiny
    – Responsibility exists, but authority is uncertain
