Daniel Szabo is a system architect for the next generation of business—a founder, investor, and thought leader for AI-powered enterprise systems. He builds platforms that transform fragmented markets and develops scalable infrastructures at the intersection of technology, capital, and talent. His approach: thinking of AI not as a feature, but as a foundation for businesses. Szabo combines international leadership experience from corporations such as Merck and Körber with an entrepreneurial track record: as the founder of YOU MAWO, the global market leader for 3D-printed eyewear, he understands the dynamics of young companies as well as the levers of structural transformation. As former CEO of Körber Digital, he built an AI venture studio that systematically connects industry, software, and data analytics. He is also a successful investor in technology-driven companies at the interface of hardware and software, with a focus on scalable B2B business models. He supports founding teams, shareholders, and investors in phases of growth, transformation, and succession. With Generation Tech Partners, Daniel Szabo is shaping a new playing field: micro-private equity with AI enablement. As a lecturer in “Artificial Intelligence for Business Leaders” at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, he teaches how companies can strategically anchor AI and make it operationally usable. Honored as one of the Top 40 Under 40 and a Global Innovator by the World Economic Forum, Szabo is an alumnus of Harvard Business School and the University of St. Gallen. His keynotes combine systems thinking with implementation power – clear, practical, strategic. Whether at conferences, leadership retreats, or strategy days, Szabo opens up new perspectives on digital leadership and motivates people to understand structure as a driver of growth.
