LMU Founders' Fireside Chat

​🔥 Our next Founders’ Fireside Chat is coming up — and this time, we’ll explore what it means to make AI a leadership responsibility.

​Our guest is Dennis Kirpensteijn, entrepreneur and experienced business leader with more than 20 years of experience in operational and strategic management. Throughout his career, he has founded and led companies, taking responsibility for their success across strategy, finance, operations and product — always with people at the centre.

​Today, through Voltaire Group, Dennis advises mid-sized and family-owned businesses on the very questions he once had to answer himself as a managing director: How do you lead a company strategically? And how do you make sure responsibility for AI is anchored where it belongs — at the executive level?

​His perspective combines hands-on entrepreneurial experience with a clear focus on responsible AI, leadership and the decisions that come with it.

​He’ll be in conversation with Dr. Philipp Baaske — Co-Founder of NanoTemper, LMU spin-off turned global deep-tech player, and LMU’s Vice President for Entrepreneurship — who hosts the series as a founder himself.

​No keynotes. No slides. Just real talk. #HowIBuiltIt
