About Sebastian

I work at the intersection of AI, People Analytics, and strategic HR.

By day, I am Head of People Analytics at Volvo Group, where I lead a global team responsible for building data-driven decision-making across a complex, multinational organization. My work focuses on turning people data and AI into real business impact not dashboards for dashboards’ sake.

Beyond my corporate role, I teach AI in HR at Kozminski University, run workshops for HR leaders, and write about how technology is reshaping the way organizations understand talent, performance, and work itself. I am particularly interested in the practical and ethical use of AI where algorithms support human judgment instead of replacing it.

I believe People Analytics is not a reporting function, but a strategic capability. When done well, it connects workforce decisions with business outcomes, challenges intuition with evidence, and helps leaders navigate uncertainty with clarity.

This space is where I share:

• how AI is actually used (and misused) in HR,
• how People Analytics can evolve from descriptive reporting to strategic influence,
• and how HR leaders can build data literacy without becoming data scientists.

My perspective is shaped by global scale, real organizational constraints, and hands-on experience, not vendor demos or theoretical frameworks.

If you care about AI that works, analytics that matter, and HR that thinks strategically, you’re in the right place.

In 2021 I was a speaker at ABSL Summit conference. Below, you can watch my presentation "Upskilling Workforce to Perform with Purpose".
