About Silvan Ruthenberg

Neurodiversity. AI governance and delivery. Board Advisory.

Three ways of asking the same question for SMEs through multinationals: how do people and organisations make better decisions when everyone thinks differently — including the machines now sitting in the room.

I'm Silvan Ruthenberg — an independent Switzerland-based consultant, keynote speaker and board advisor working across neurodiversity, AI governance and delivery, and the boardrooms where both increasingly meet. I support SMEs, mid-sized companies and multinational groups in regulated and fast-moving sectors. My background spans 15+ years of transformation delivery in regulated sectors, global leadership of the world's largest neurodiversity organisation, and formal AI governance and delivery training. I work in German, French, Spanish and English with organisations across Europe and beyond.

Neurodiversity

Consulting and keynote speaking on neurodiversity, cognitive diversity and inclusive leadership — for SMEs, mid-sized companies and multinationals that want neurodiversity to be a genuine performance and talent advantage, not a slogan.

Selected customers include United Internet AG, IKEA Switzerland and Concentrix.
