Helmut Von Ankershoffen is a seasoned product and engineering leader with 20+ years building scalable, AI-driven platforms across startups and hyperscale organizations, currently SVP Product & Engineering at Aignostics. He blends big‑company rigor from Amazon—where he scaled a global ML personalization platform and saved millions in AWS costs—with a founder’s agility honed through multiple bootstrapped ventures and CTO roles in Berlin. Equally at home shaping technical strategy and mentoring teams, he drives cross‑functional delivery through data‑driven decisions, empathy, and transparent collaboration. His academic roots in computer science and mathematics underpin a long-running interest in AI for impact—dating back to a diploma thesis on AI for leukemia treatment—and he holds a patent on relevance ranking in search. Based in Berlin, Helmut is a curious lifelong learner who continuously explores trends in leadership, economics, and emerging tech.
