About

“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” (Warren G. Bennis) I closely work together with IT decision makers (CIO, CTO, CISO, Directors) and technical experts (architects, senior devs, IT Leads) and help them archiving their goals by sharing the best of Google's technology, processes and culture. Even though we at Google Cloud have a lot of technology, stories and best practices to share, successful projects and cloud transformations starts with listening, observing and understanding the terrain of our customers. Every company and situation is unique and therefore also our IT solutions, processes and change management need to be individually designed. Next to my job at Google I am currently doing an Executive MBA at the WU Executive Academy Vienna as well as the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
