About me

I have three things driving me: The enthusiasm for digital transformations, the passion for innovative technologies and the pursuit of new ways of a modern leadership in IT. For the last 6 years I have been working with many large companies in the context of digital transformation. The topic of Hybrid Cloud is a constant companion in this cooperation - where can potentials be raised, how do I adapt modern cloud architectures, where do I create added value/innovation within my daily business, how do I create a modern culture with new ways of working and how do I lead them to success? Greenfield innovation is easy, but how do I integrate and adapt the potential of innovative technologies into my existing business/processes? If you have also recognized the potential of innovative technologies in the area of Hybrid Cloud Computing, let’s talk - I am always looking for an exciting discussion!
