Andreas Wytzisk

I'm a senior member of the con terra team with over 15 years experience working in the field of GIS and spatial data infrastructures. I'm responsible for con terra's international business development and managing the 52°North Initiative for Geospatial Open Source Software.
 
For the last decade I have specialized on technical and organizational aspects of spatial data infrastructures and have delivered a number of key projects with this focus, whilst working with senior management to create vision and thought leadership. I'm highly experienced in international project management and coordination of heterogeneous working groups.
 
Holding a PhD in Geoinformatics, I worked as project manager for agricultural and environmental IT projects at pro_Plant GmbH for a number of years. I joined the Institute for Geoinformatics, Münster as research associate and assistant professor, before transitioning into the International Institute for Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) in Enschede as assistant professor for SDI. In September 2006 I joined con terra as senior consultant for spatial data infrastructures and managing director of 52°North.
