I’m currently working as an advisor to enterprise organizations on information security, risk and compliance management issues. At the same time I’m working with security product vendors on marketing, product, and business strategies.
Prior to that I was the Director of Marketing at GreenBorder Technologies, which was acquired by Google. I also worked for more than seven years at Sun Microsystems where I was responsible for Solaris Security and the Trusted Solaris Operating System (which is now called Solaris Trusted Extensions). During my tenure, Trusted Solaris became the de-facto standard for secure and classified communication platforms and achieved triple-digit revenue growth over three consecutive years.
My industry experience includes High Assurance Computing, OS security, application security, Multi-Level Security systems, Common Criteria Certification, Regulatory Compliance. My market experience spans consumer, government, healthcare, finance and managed services.
I grew up in Germany with only one goal in my mind - becoming a professional soccer player. After finishing high-school I was signed by one of the worlds leading soccer organizations - FC Bayern München. Unfortunately the career was cut short due to an injury. During my recovery I got into information technology and it has been my (second) passion ever since.
