The Corporate Innovator

Dr. Ingo Hofacker is a seasoned technology executive, strategic advisor, entrepreneur and AI and data expert. A German native with global experience, Ingo has worked at a number of consultancies including Deloitte and Bain & Company, however today we’ll be largely focusing on his time at Deutsche Telekom. Ingo was involved in a number of key innovation initiatives like the successful Qivicon smart home open platform, as well as large scale IOT deployments for the telco’s enterprise customers.

Dr Ingo’s core belief is that "Any problem that can be solved by data, will be solved by data!” We’ll touch on why partners are critical in driving these initiatives, as well as why having the infrastructure to make sense of the sheer volume of data points can be your key competitive advantage. To Ingo, the data matters more than the algorithms - they haven't really changed, but the data (and how you gather it) has.
