About me
More than just the technical
After two decades of experience as an IT Manager in implementing digital business processes, establishing international offices, and leading IT projects across North America, Asia, and Europe, I am eager to apply my expertise here in our region.
Let’s get you fit & secure for the digital age!
What you can expect from me
Personal, local, and professional IT consulting and support services focused on your concerns, founded on long-term, sustainable, and human-centered values. I will not sell you quick, hype-driven solutions that only emphasize opportunities while ignoring risks, nor will I leave you stranded in a phone queue with your follow-up questions. Solutions are only successful in the long term when they are integrated into a comprehensive overall concept.
I would be happy to discuss with you your needs & ideas in a free, no-obligation consultation. Let’s work together to identify where I can help you.
My Service Portfolio
Globally minded, locally solved
Decision Support
Do you need help developing a comprehensive digital strategy or an IT risk analysis for your company?
Or do you “simply” need a person with an IT background to reflect on an upcoming IT decision and clarify a few questions?
I am not tied to any specific partners or solutions and can therefore advise you independently and impartially.
Business Processes Automation
Let’s work together to understand your core requirements and how you can generate long-term value.
Rushed solutions often lead to dead ends. Providers and technologies are constantly changing, but how do you ensure security, tax & legal compliance, continuity, and data exchange between an increasing number of digital systems?
I would be happy to assist you with project planning and execution. Technicians & products are many, but success lies in project management and strategic integration tailored to your specific needs.
IT Security
Risks in IT and data security are escalating rapidly. The convergence of AI-powered hacking tools, deepening global interconnectivity, and comprehensive process digitization has created a perfect storm. Today, even novice attackers can easily target and extort companies worldwide, regardless of their size.
Small and medium-sized enterprises often have the most critical gaps in their IT security. A fundamental reduction in risk requires more than just installing another piece of software.
I offer a structured, best practice-based methodology to effectively minimize these threats.

Embracing Linux & Open Source
Achieving true data sovereignty, resilience, and a strong, independent European IT landscape necessitates a commitment to Open Source.
It is time to broaden our horizons. A continued, one-sided reliance on Microsoft and other American tech giants carries inherent risks. These risks—from international political shifts and global crises to the widespread impact of flaws in an IT monoculture—are becoming too significant and unpredictable to ignore.
Open Source and Linux are now mainstream. They power over 90% of the world’s web servers and form the foundation of virtually every IoT and embedded platform. Here in Europe, we have robust providers like Nextcloud and Univention offering user-friendly, cost-competitive, and Open Source-based solutions.
Let me help you identify where an Open Source strategy can reduce costs, decrease vendor lock-in, and unlock new potential for your business.
