THE TEAM
Step inside AIA, the world’s first emotional AI ecosystem, built to connect, understand, and evolve with you.
Our Team
Departments
C-Board
Founded AIA Orbis on a single premise: intelligence is becoming an asset organisations own rather than a service they rent. Defining vision, long-term strategy and capital allocation, and aligning technology, law, geopolitics and AI compliance into one operating direction.
David Paulson
CEO & Founder
C-Board
Running daily operations since the company’s first day on a single standard: what is promised in a meeting is what arrives in production. Owning delivery across every client project, the marketing function and both partner teams.
Natalia Cuesta Fuentes
Chief Operating Officer
C-Board
Owning system architecture, the release cycle and the AI engineering team on a single standard: what ships is what a regulator can be walked through. Carrying controlled model access, data residency and auditability as design constraints rather than afterthoughts.
Semih Çevik
Chief Technology Officer
C-Board
Building and holding the accounts that matter on a single premise: large organisations do not buy technology, they buy a case someone internal is willing to defend. Owning the acquisition team and the sector leads alongside the CEO.
Ben Rünger
Chief Commercial Officer
Advisory
Joined Booking.com in its earliest days and stayed through the growth from roughly one hundred people to a global category leader: scale is an organisational problem long before it is a market one. Advising the CEO on organisational design, leadership and the sequencing of expansion across markets.
Heidi Böttcher
Strategic Advisor to the CEO and Business Development
Advisory
Leading the physical embodiment layer of AIA Orbis: intelligence that stays inside software solves half the problem. Owning hardware architecture, the sensor and actuation stack, and the conditions that decide whether a lab system holds up on a factory floor.
Dr. Thomas Werner
Robotics & Hardware
Business Development
Carrying AIA Orbis into hospital groups and insurers, a market where data residency is a legal requirement rather than a procurement preference.
Thomas Göing
Healthcare Lead
Business Development
Carrying AIA Orbis into port operators and terminal infrastructure, where continuity is a matter of national interest and downtime is measured in hours of lost trade.
Michael Bittermann
Ports Lead
Business Development
Running group operations for AIA Orbis: a signed project is a promise the operations layer has to keep. Owning accounting, contracting and delivery administration across the board and both partner teams.
Paola Cabrera Hernandez
Senior Manager, Group Operations
AI Development
Frontend and backend development, DevOps, AI data engineering and forward-deployed engineering: one team carrying a system from architecture to production inside a client’s own infrastructure.
