Janosch Zimmer

Hi, I’m Janosch Zimmer LL.B., M.A.

My background is in law and business, and AI has been part of my work since its early days. I use it to develop ideas, build applications and lead its adoption in organisations. In the legal market, I have helped shape this shift from the very beginning.

What interests me is the interplay: what the technology can do, how it pays off economically and what it changes for people. From this perspective, I put developments into context and answer your questions.

My values

01 Reflection

My gut is often right, but not always. For big decisions I take the time to question it.

In a Harvard and Virginia study, two thirds of men gave themselves electric shocks rather than sit alone with their thoughts for 15 minutes.

02 Honesty

I would rather look at what actually happened than at what I hope will happen, even when it is uncomfortable.

Researchers handed in over 17,000 lost wallets in 40 countries. The more money inside, the more often they were returned.

03 Persistence

Nobody gets good overnight. I enjoy digging into things until they really click.

James Dyson built 5,127 prototypes before his bagless vacuum cleaner worked.

04 Empathy

Before I try to convince anyone, I want to understand what actually drives them.

When Satya Nadella took over Microsoft in 2014, he made empathy the core of its culture. Since then the company's market value has grown more than tenfold.

05 Foresight

Good relationships matter more to me than quick wins. In the end they pay off anyway.

Harvard has followed the same people since 1938. Its key finding: good relationships predict a healthy, happy life better than money or fame.
