About

I'm an experienced leader of large and distributed software engineering organisations with a laser-sharp focus on execution and results in international software development organisations. As a people manager, I have a strong background in organisation design and optimization, always with a focus on people and their success - I can only be successful if my team is successful. I invest time in staying on top of technology developments and trends, not only because this is important for my role, but also because I'm a technology enthusiast and enjoy doing so a lot. It is very important to me that I always have two strong pillars as part of my personal brand: inspiring leadership on a strong technology foundation. All views expressed here on this platform are my own.
