Helping Organizations Take Control – of Their Data, Their Infrastructure and Their Customer Experience

Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

About

With over 20 years of experience in the IT industry, I have built my expertise across software-defined storage, enterprise software, data integrity, and go-to-market strategy. As CEO of iTernity GmbH, I led the company for over a decade, establishing it as a leading provider of software solutions for data integrity and compliance – building long-term partnerships with some of Germany's largest enterprises and trusted technology partners such as HPE. Today, as Director Sales & Marketing at pyramid Computer, I have taken on a broader challenge: driving the strategic direction and operational execution of sales and marketing across a diverse and innovative technology portfolio. Our offering is built around two powerful pillars: interactive technology solutions – delivering touchscreen and display experiences for retail, hospitality, and industrial environments – and sovereign IT infrastructure, combining local AI, Azure local, enterprise storage, industry PCs, and servers. I strongly believe that organizations should maintain full control over their data and infrastructure – and that the right technology, paired with the right partners, can make this a competitive advantage rather than a challenge. Always happy to exchange ideas, explore new partnerships, or simply reconnect with familiar faces from the industry.
