Executive today, founder tomorrow: For our Executive MBA alumnus Dr. Michael Pfenning, the EMBA was not the reason to found his company, but it triggered the decision to do it now.

Michael had always wanted to found his own company. At the time he joined the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA, it was to propel his career at SAP. But the Entrepreneurship Module, the contacts to incubators and the startup scene, and the motivation he gained from his cohort gave him the confidence to finally take the step. Elevating Patterns GmbH, an AI-powered software company helping industrial businesses bring their product data under control, has since closed a pre-seed funding round and is now working with its first pilot customer.

Michael’s story is featured in Poets&Quants' new series on Executive MBA entrepreneurs, "Meet The EMBA Class Of Entrepreneurs: Executives Today, Founders Tomorrow," alongside founders from EMBA programs around the world.

AI in action in user experience and enterprise AI: Our Mannheim Master in Management Analytics & AI Class of 2027 spent two days in Munich.

The field trip included two company visits. At Celonis, Hanna Bäuchle, Associate Deployment Engineer, and Sofia Steger welcomed the group. They gave an introduction to the company, showed a live software demo, and in a special deep-dive shared how Celonis uses AI internally.

The second stop was Kaiser X Labs, a company of Allianz. Four speakers shared their expertise: Ansgar Wolsing, Principal Data & Analytics Consultant, Dr. Sergej von Janda, Director UX Intelligence, Eva Mallent, Director Brand & Visual Design, and Claudio S., Lead Data & Analytics Consultant. Participants learned about data & analytics in UX intelligence and saw how AI is used in practice at KXL, before getting hands-on in a workshop on role mapping and structured prompting.

The trip also included a skylift tour at Olympic Park with a 360-degree view over Munich, and dinner at Augustiner am Dom.
