Key Account Manager @ Axis Communications | Between cybersecurity, physical security and the real challenges from project life

Malsch, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

About

More than 10 years in the security industry taught me one thing: the biggest challenges are usually not the ones written in brochures. Today I work as a Key Account Manager at Axis Communications, mainly around physical security, cybersecurity, enterprise infrastructure and critical environments. I’m especially interested in the reality behind projects: installation quality, operational challenges, cybersecurity in everyday environments, and the gap between compliance requirements and real-world infrastructure. On LinkedIn I mostly share practical observations, project experiences and thoughts from everyday business life - not marketing slides.
