Jarkko Moilanen, PhD

AI product leadership
from strategy
to working systems

I help government and enterprise teams decide what to build, how to govern it, and how to move from AI pilots to working products. The work combines executive judgment, first-hand implementation experience, and hands-on architecture across AI agents, MCP, APIs, knowledge graphs and data products.

Available for consulting, fractional leadership and focused delivery through my UAE company.
