Dr. Anton Schäfer

As an Associate Partner at AdEx Partners, I focus on supporting my clients in their digital transformation, end-to-end from strategy development to technical, operational implementation. I am also responsible for the Transportation & Logistics industry.

With a high level of expertise as a strategy consultant, my focus is on business and IT strategies, especially their close integration and implementation in overarching transformation programs. In addition, I support my clients in the implementation of complex transformations in business and IT, structural changes, organizational development, growth or efficiency topics.

Based on my many years of industry experience, I provide expert advice along the complete value chain of the transport & logistics industry, from customer needs to last mile transportation. In this area, I have start-up experience as an intrapreneur, founding and developing new digital business models to optimize the last mile. I am particularly excited about innovative solutions around IOT, predictive analytics, computer vision and machine learning. One focus of my work is “Green Logistics“, as I am convinced that digitalization, sustainability and efficiency do not represent a contradiction.

In addition to my several years of consulting experience, I have over 10 years of operational line management responsibility of cross-functional teams in corporations. The combination of consulting, startup and line management experience enables me to effectively advise my clients.

After my studies as Diplom-Kaufmann and Diplom-Wirtschaftsmathematiker at the University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, I deepened my knowledge in Artificial Intelligence with a PhD in Computer Science on “Reinforcement Learning with Recurrent Neural Networks”. Due to several stays abroad, I speak three languages fluently: German, English and French.

Privately, I live with my family in the Berchtesgadener Land. As an enthusiastic trail runner, I enjoy the direct proximity to the mountains here.
