About

Passionate about software, cloud, domains and people. Having spent my entire career in the software & cloud ecosphere, I am fascinated about new solutions and humans with a story to tell! CloudFest, MSP GLOBAL and NamesCon are the coolest and most exciting conferences on the planet for three unique industries full of iconic and fun people. We welcome over 13,000 likeminded people that are on the A-List of the international Cloud & Hosting, MSP and Domaining world. We are a group of friends and superfans. My previous focus as Investment Manager was on investments/ M&A in SaaS and hosting/ cloud related businesses and developing them into ‘unicorn’ champions like we did with ‘WebPros’. Thrilled to learn more from founders and great team members of our portfolio companies. Talk to me if you have great ideas how to conquer the world together or if you are impact driven and want to make it a better one – or ideally, both. About my off-Linkedin me: I am an ardent admirer of Cologne’s football club '1. Effzeh Köln'. I collect mugs of the British Royal Family and love to travel to exceptional destinations, including a 10,000km trip from Cologne to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, in a 20-year-old compact car.
