Meet Michelle Runge - The AI Consultant

Who Makes Technology Feel Human

Hey there! I'm Michelle, and I believe AI should feel like having a brilliant business partner, not a complicated tool that overwhelms you.

As a CPD-accredited AI Consultant and member of the International Association of Artificial Intelligence Consultants (IAAIC), I've helped 500+ professionals transform their businesses with AI - with 99% rating our work as "highly valuable." But my story didn't start with technology.

From Global Wanderer to AI Guide

Change has always been my compass. From a young age, I've embraced change as a gateway to endless possibilities. This philosophy has fueled a vibrant career across continents and industries, ultimately guiding me to the forefront of AI consulting.

A Journey Across Continents

My adventure began with a cross-country move at eight, setting the stage for a life of exploration and adaptation. I've lived in Oslo, explored Europe, managed a London office at 21, and studied in Japan. Each experience enriched my understanding of business and people, honing my skills in problem-solving and adaptability that I bring to every client relationship today.

The Spark That Started Everything

Facing the challenges of a rapidly evolving job market sparked an epiphany: the very technology complicating my job search could be harnessed to solve similar issues for others. This realization ignited my mission to help businesses and professionals leverage AI, reducing administrative burdens and focusing on meaningful, creative work.

What Sets AI Edge Consulting Apart

I don't just focus on the technology - I focus on how AI can help you simplify your operations and unlock new opportunities.
