About

As CTO Automotive and the Head of SCT (Software and Central Technology at Continental), I am grateful to steer Continental Automotive's journey towards software-defined mobility with the aim of winning the transformation: from road to cloud – from virtual to real! At SCT, the central R&D department of Continental Automotive, we have defined the software-defined vehicle (SDV) as our central focus topic. With our road to cloud ecosystem, we want to be the bridge between the embedded and the digital world to drive the development of our mobility in the future – being the thought and technology leader, YOUR partner of choice when it comes to cross-domain solutions. For this purpose, my colleagues and I, together with OE customers and other partners, are enabling, developing, and integrating unique innovations and solutions in every vehicle. But this is just a small glimpse into my role, and I look forward to sharing and seeing more interesting content here on LinkedIn. Let’s be innovative by developing a successful SDV!
