Michael Geiss

Strategist for Systemic Business Leverage

As Strategist for Systemic Business Leverage, I design sustainable and AI-native business models. My thought partners: entrepreneurs who architect transformation from within – structurally, deliberately, and systemically. My approach: holistic. From system to pattern, from effect to cause, from context to dynamics. My orientation: strategic foresight, systemic logic, game-theoretical decisions.

At r3ason, I lead the strategic redesign and systemic reconfiguration of business models – achieving clarity, resilience, and structural readiness – under AI-shaped conditions.
