History In A Nutshell

I switched from studying social working to the information technology industry in 1984. There, I started as the author of several specialist books, then in various international management and leadership positions in channel/product marketing, business development, alliance management and strategic sales management. Since 2001, I have been working primarily in the field of information security.

Since 2010, I have also been working closely with one of the pioneers in the field of natural language understanding (NLU) for various applications. One result of this collaboration is the method of identity-free targeting of online ads, which is based on my concept. During my time at PwC Deutschland GmbH, I participated in the development of "Smart Information Inventory", a solution based on NLU that identifies and classifies critical content in unstructured data for further processing in accordance with legal requirements and regulations.

At „Symantec” I was in charge of he green field development of strategic alliances in EMEA which acted as a blue print for the global roll out. I also served in the advisory board of „Comsec” and was lately instrumental in the turnaround oft the security business unit at „CA Technologies” as a Director Solution Sales EMEA. I also deal with "Human Centric Digital Governance" with regard to cyber security. In 2021 during my tenure at PwC Deutschland GmbH, I published a "Point of View" with bestselling author „Maike van den Boom” under their logo entitled: "Can Cyber Security Make You Happy?".

Since 2010, I have dedicated significant efforts to all aspects of artificial intelligence (NLU) and since 2013 in the security space, with a strong focus on use cases, information security and privacy protection.

I served on various advisory boards where I contributed with my network and holistic approach to business.

I've been a regular speaker on information security- and AI-events where I focus on the business enabling nature of information security and AI.

Focus In A Nutshell

After having spent a significant amount of time in various functions in the IT-world, I felt it was about time to recollect the experience from the last 38 years in that arena and connect the dots for a more holistic view on this industry. In 2017/2018, I closed the loop and ultimately went back to where I've started: Writing books. Two book projects bug me for years now. Both of them with a strong connection to business and IT.

  • I took two years off and researched for the first book „Coterminus” which will shed some light on our digital existence and how that plays along with our physical limits. How do things come to an end? Do they actually come to an end? The physical side for sure, that much we know. Being back to a fulltime job, I'm currently running on two shifts putting all the research- and interview-work in meaningful order which is, I have to admit, quite challenging. The work on this first book since 1989 has been kicked off on 1-MAR-17. Visit my blog „Coterminus” to find some fun reading!
  • An unplanned book slipped in between as a warm up. See „Focus in a nutshell”. The first edition has been published in June 2023, the second, significantly expanded in May 2025 and is available on Apple and Amazon.
  • After some „interesting" encounters lately, I'm focussing on publicly sharing my "wisdom" that I gained during research and writing of my latest book.
