Ten years of translating complex technology into stories people actually understand, from hybrid cloud and data to AI agents.
I work in the middle ground most teams struggle to fill: technical enough to hold my own with engineers — seven certifications across NetApp, AWS and Azure, an MSc in Business Informatics, a peer-reviewed publication — and commercial enough to build the partner relationships that actually scale a business. Sharpened at Parloa, NetApp, SAP and HPE.
The person behind it: selected for NetApp's BetterUp leadership program, volunteering at UNESON Lernfreundehaus since 2022, runner, skier, home-automation tinkerer. This site is served from a Raspberry Pi in my living room — I like building things end to end.
Ten years, five chapters — told from the beginning.
