3 Questions for Simon Schilling
Why AI and compliance together – not separately?
Because that's exactly what fails in practice. Companies start an AI project, and six months later the compliance department steps in and shuts everything down. Or a compliance framework is built that stifles AI innovation. My approach is compliant-by-design: regulation isn't an afterthought, it's part of the agent design from day one. That saves time, money, and headaches.
What sets Nexus apart from the big consultancies?
Speed and skin in the game. I'm not a partner who shows up for the pitch and then sends a junior team. You work directly with me – 19 years of experience, from code to steering committee. No overhead, no pyramid, no PowerPoint consulting. Instead, results in weeks, not months.
Who is Nexus the right partner for?
For regulated mid-market and critical infrastructure (KRITIS) companies that want to put AI into production – not just talk about it. Typically CIOs and CDOs who need to set up an AI program but lack the internal capacity or compliance clarity. And for executives who know the EU AI Act is coming and want to act now rather than in two years.
Beyond Consulting
When I'm not working on AI architectures or compliance frameworks, I prefer being outdoors – mountain biking in the Black Forest or hiking in the Alps. At home, I tinker with my homelab (TrueNAS, Docker, self-hosting) and try out the latest open-source tools before recommending them in client projects. My drive: understanding technology, not just talking about it.
