The Founder
Founder & Senior Strategy Advisor
Based in Berlin
I'm the founder of hundertx.ai. I advise the leadership of UN agencies, international NGOs, climate partnerships and foundations on strategy, partnerships and transformation — drawing on 14 years at one of the world's largest consultancies, most recently building and leading its development practice in Germany from the ground up, from Berlin to Bonn, from Nairobi to New York.
What I kept seeing was a gap: the organisations doing work that genuinely matters had the least access to the kind of senior strategic support that work deserves. For most of my career that gap looked permanent — senior judgement doesn't scale, and it commands a budget few of these organisations could justify. What changed is AI. So I built those 14 years — the methods, the judgement, the way these decisions actually get made — into hundertx.ai, with human judgement still firmly in the lead.
Together, senior judgement and impact-native AI get you to sharper analysis, clearer decisions and stronger outcomes — faster, and within reach when it matters most.
The deepest work here is human: understanding what the people around you need, and bringing them with you. That's how transformation becomes real.
So you walk in clear on what matters, and lead from there.
How we help
Six areas of bespoke advisory work — taken on a few at a time, so each has a senior advisor's full attention.
Good strategy is clarity about where you're headed, kept current as the ground shifts, and owned deeply enough inside your organisation to be acted on.
Good funding work reads what a funder is really deciding — so you raise the money that fits the mission and build the partnerships that hold.
Good AI adoption builds real capability with humans in the lead — changing what's possible for the work that matters.
Good foresight is readiness across several plausible futures and the discipline to move early — futures made richer by the people closest to the work.
Good transformation is deciding clearly what your organisation is becoming, built around your purpose — naming who bears the cost, and protecting what the people you serve cannot lose.
Good influence work sees the power that shapes what people believe is possible — and spends your limited force where the system moves.
Issue trees, decision frameworks, structured analysis — the machinery of a serious strategy engagement, working at AI pace and depth.
Deep analysis across disciplines — from economics and power to systems and risk — built for how the impact sector actually works, and challenging you at every step.
With the platform's communication craft behind you, you build briefs, one-pagers and narratives — clear structure, sticky messages, stories that move people to act.
A personal coach behind every relationship — so you have the right conversations, in the right way, at the right time, with the right people.
You never start from zero again — each conversation, document and decision makes your next answer sharper.
The methods, frameworks and ways of thinking you work with here train you as you go — strategic muscle you carry into every room.

Exhibit 2 · The method underneath
Everything a serious impact-sector strategy engagement needs — from the first tailored diagnosis, to unearthing the hard choices, to driving results consistently and learning faster over time.
AI-native, but never AI-only: you know things no system can — the reality on the ground, how decisions really get made, what people won't say on record — so hundertx.ai asks, listens and remembers, and your judgement, hard-won experience and tacit knowledge raise everything the AI produces. The more you bring, the stronger the work gets.
What it draws on
The disciplines that study how your world actually works — systems thinking, political economy, behavioural science, anthropology, justice — and how good work gets done inside it: strategy, organisational design, collaboration and partnership, communication, digital and AI.
90+ analytical tools with strategy-consulting rigour, and 140+ thinkers chosen for their relevance to impact organisations.

Built for practitioners like
Amara S.
Programme Director
UN Agency · Nairobi
“Three days before our country office review, I was still buried in background documents. By morning I had a strategic assessment that identified a misalignment in the government partnership we’d been treating as stable for two years. My Regional Director asked who’d written it. I just said, ‘I did.’”
David K.
Programme Manager
Bilateral Development Agency · Berlin
“The stakeholder mapping on a new country engagement surfaced a dependency between two implementing partners that explained six months of delayed reporting. I would have found that eventually. But not before the first steering committee.”
Sofia R.
Head of Strategy
Mid-Size INGO · Geneva
“I was preparing for a difficult conversation with our biggest donor, and the platform asked me: ‘What does the donor need to believe about their own judgement in order to accept this change?’ I would never have framed it that way. But it was exactly the right question.”
James O.
Executive Director
Local NGO · Kampala
“We’re a team of nine. I don’t have a strategy department. Last quarter a board member told me my strategic thinking had really matured. She was right — but it’s not because I got smarter. I just finally have the right support behind me.”
Zawadi M.
Junior Programme Officer
Regional NGO · Dakar
“My manager asked me to pull together background for a new livelihoods programme. Instead of compiling what we had on file, I came back questioning whether our 2019 baseline still held. She wasn’t surprised the data was stale. She was surprised I’d thought to ask.”
Valentina L.
Governance Advisor
Foundation · Bogotá
“Before a grantee meeting last month, the preparation flagged that their reported outcomes didn’t match what their staff had told us informally six months earlier. Having that mapped out meant I could ask the right question without making it accusatory. The conversation went somewhere real.”
Linh T.
Junior Programme Associate
International NGO · Hanoi
“My director handed back my stakeholder analysis and said, ‘This is really good — who helped you?’ Six months ago I would have just forwarded her talking points. Now I’m producing analysis she didn’t expect from someone at my level.”
Ben W.
Policy Officer
Rights-Based NGO · Dhaka
“My first draft of our position paper for a disability rights consultation was all policy language — our recommendations, our framework. The platform pushed me to restructure around the lived experience of the people we represent. The ministry official said it was the most compelling submission they’d received.”
Rashida A.
Country Director
International NGO · Amman
“My HQ sends me a new strategic framework every eighteen months. My government counterparts change every twelve. I used to spend half my energy keeping those two worlds aligned in my head. Now I walk into a ministry meeting knowing exactly where the gaps are between what HQ wants me to say and what actually matters in this context.”

Privacy & security
hundertx is built on the fundamental belief that strong data privacy, security and digital sovereignty are fundamental to the work of impact organisations — particularly in a time of rising geopolitical tension and in a market where selling data has become a business model.
The organisations we serve advance freedom, democracy and human rights and work on contentious topics, often in places where being named carries real risk and often alongside vulnerable populations.
That is why we build in Europe: European law is the strongest protection available to you, and we have built to it wherever we could; where we could not, we say so below. A fully European option is what we are working towards, and we get there as European alternatives become strong enough to carry this work.Here is how we protect your data and where we stand:
Who you are contracting with. A German practice, under German law, with no foreign parent and no outside investors. Any future incorporation stays European.
Data hosting in Germany. Your account, your documents and your intelligence base are stored in Nuremberg, on servers run by Hetzner, a German company.
Where your data leaves Germany. The analysis runs on Anthropic's Claude, under commercial terms that forbid training on your data. Nothing European currently matches it for this work, so we use it. Anthropic routes each request to whichever region has capacity, so we cannot tell you it stays in Europe, and we will not pretend otherwise. European models are improving fast, and we intend to offer a sovereign European reasoning model as an additional option as soon as one can carry this work. Three smaller dependencies also sit outside Germany: transactional email, payments and web search run through US companies.
Separation between clients. Your intelligence base is walled off from every other organisation's. One client's data can never surface in another's work.
No training on your data. What you bring sharpens your intelligence base and no one else's, and your data is never used to train public AI models. We do learn from how the methodology performs across all our work — which analyses get reworked, which prompts get skipped, where practitioners get stuck. That is usage data: which tool, when, how often. Not your documents, not their content, and not what you type into the platform. We run no third-party analytics — your sessions are not recorded, and nothing you write here reaches an analytics provider. Sharing lessons learned from your work — a framing that worked, a decision that turned out well — would be a separate, explicit opt-in, to sharpen the methodology for the whole impact sector. Off by default, revocable, and not built yet.
Export and deletion. Your intelligence base is yours to take with you. Ask and we export it in a usable format; ask us to delete it and we delete it, and it goes from our backups as they rotate. A relationship that only holds because leaving is painful is not one we want.
