What I Do
Mixed Reality & Spacial Computing
The combination of reality and virtuality creates remarkable opportunities for companies. As Co-Founder & Managing Director of 2Sync, we are driving these possibilities with our innovative software solutions, enabling new use cases and accompanying companies on their way to purposeful deployment.
IT-Benchmarking & Cost Optimization
To stay competitive, it is important to know where your IT stands compared to the industry standard. With many years of experience in IT benchmarking and cost optimization, I have helped companies assess their IT performance, identify areas for improvement and develop cost optimization strategies.
Cloud Management & FinOps
Efficiently leveraging the power of cloud technologies is critical for modern businesses. But this transformation needs to be accompanied by changes for the (IT) organization and processes. With my experience in Cloud Management and Financial Operations (FinOps), I've helped companies better manage their Cloud investments and achieve significant cost savings.
