Magnus Oxenwaldt

I help enterprises navigate AI transformation — from board-level strategy through to systems running in production.

I've spent the last twenty years inside enterprise architecture: ERP, customer engagement, integration, and now AI. Today I lead Columbus Global's AI practice as VP Group AI, driving "The Shift" — our strategy for delivering measurable AI outcomes to clients across Europe and North America.

I host Future Bytes, a weekly podcast unpacking the AI news that actually matters for business leaders. I speak at executive forums, board off-sites, and industry events. I write here about the things I keep hitting in practice — and the patterns that separate AI projects that ship from the ones that don't.

Areas of focus

AI strategy & implementation

Frontier-model implementations, agentic systems, prompt engineering, and the evaluation infrastructure that makes them durable. Practical, not theoretical.

Enterprise architecture

Microsoft Dynamics 365, Azure, and Power Platform. Where AI lives, breaks, and gets governed.

Digital transformation

Enterprise-wide change programs. The organizational and cultural mechanics around tech adoption — change management as the gating constraint.

Executive advisory

Board-level briefings, AI strategy reviews, and trusted second opinions for CIOs and CEOs navigating the next decade.

Let's connect

Available for executive advisory, keynote speaking, and strategic consulting worldwide.
