When I can help

When technology becomes a management decision.

Technology is rarely just an IT matter. It affects business models, investments, organisations, risks and a company's strategic ability to act.

A critical technology decision is ahead

An independent second opinion on investments, platforms, architecture or transformation programmes.

02

Management and IT see the situation differently

Clarity on options, risks and consequences – translated into a robust management decision.

03

CIO or CTO responsibility needs temporary coverage

Experienced interim leadership for vacancies, transformation, growth or crisis situations.

04

You need an objective view of how well your IT is positioned

An independent assessment of technology, organisation, processes, risks and future readiness.

Senior expertise. Directly.

Independent

No software, platform or implementation team to sell. Recommendations follow the client's actual challenge.

Personal

You engage me and work with me – without a junior team between the problem and the advice.

Substantive

Technical complexity is not abstracted away before it has been properly understood.

Pragmatic

A recommendation must not only be technically sound; it must also be implementable in the organisation.

Profile

Understand technology. Shape business models. Advance companies.

My career has taken me from software development and technology management through CIO and CTO responsibility to independent advisory work for executive teams and technology leaders.

Since 2008, I have advised companies ranging from the mid-market to large enterprises on technology and business questions. I also engage with technology-driven start-ups, invest in selected companies and teach IT strategy.

My focus: understanding technology, identifying opportunities and turning them into viable business models and successful companies.
