Sebastian Gade

AI Innovation Leader

I build things from zero: AI systems, commercial infrastructure, and operational foundations. Most of my career has been joining early and building what does not exist yet. Regulated industries are where I have proven depth, pharma, FDA environments, GxP contexts, but the throughline is 0-to-1 execution across product, ops, and delivery.
