About

I work at the frontiers of AI, strategy, and innovation, helping leaders turn emerging technologies into lasting impact. With 10 years of experience across business, government, and multilateral institutions, I translate complexity into clear strategies that scale. Currently, I'm a Strategy & Ops Lead for Google’s AI infrastructure group, partnering with world-class product and engineering teams to shape AI product strategy, scale execution, and deliver impact across the AI stack - compute (datacenters, TPUs), models (Gemini), frameworks and compilers (TensorFlow, JAX), data platforms, and Cloud applications (Vertex AI, AgentSpace). Previously, I managed a $150M+ AI investment portfolio funded by the Canadian government, advised C-level executives and policymakers on AI adoption, and oversaw enterprise-scale AI transformation initiatives. Earlier roles include management consulting at BCG, strategic program management at UNDP, and policy work at UN and European Commission. My perspective is global, shaped by work across North America, Europe, and multilateral institutions, and underpinned by graduate training at Harvard (MPA), HEC Paris (MiM), and Freie Universität Berlin (MPP). ... Outside of my role at Google, I frequently contribute to the global AI conversation through advising, speaking and writing. • Speaking & Writing: Keynotes, panels, and published insights on AI strategy, innovation, and responsible adoption • Advisory & Boards: Startup advisor, early-stage investor, and open to board opportunities where AI and strategy expertise can accelerate growth To connect or collaborate, visit www.patricktammer.com or reach me directly at patricktammer@gmail.com ...
