Malcolm Werchota is a Tunisia-born innovator with Zimbabwean roots whose 15-year career spans applied science and AI. After transforming powder-coating workflows with machine learning at coatingAI, he led one of Europe’s early large-scale GenAI programs at Novartis, reaching 80% employee adoption in under six months. In 2023 he founded werchota.ai, where he builds AI-native systems for clients such as Microsoft, Nestlé, and LGT Bank, and has delivered practical AI solutions across industries including banking, manufacturing, and F&B. He also teaches CAS courses on AI at ESADE and HSLU (Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts).

With L&D teams, Malcolm keeps things practical and business-aligned. He helps convert strategy into day-to-day learning workflows—aligning to capability needs, shaping learner-centric pathways, tightening content operations, and setting simple guardrails for governance and measurement. His approach is friendly, hands-on, and platform-agnostic, so teams can work with what they already have while focusing on skills, performance, and clear outcomes.

In the past months he has delivered 60+ workshops in English, German, French, and Spanish for organizations ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. His pragmatic sessions—including support for Microsoft Switzerland’s Copilot training—have consistently reported productivity improvements. Malcolm did his Masters Thesis in Metallurgy (Imperial College London) and an MBA (ESADE), and he regularly runs in-company workshops for L&D, HR, and Enablement teams.
