Vice President Group Information Security, Group CISO

• Aug 2022 - Present

At Ströer, I am responsible for security efforts across the entire Group. I make sure we find the right path toward a liveable, healthy, and shared security culture (and more than 100 companies to do it). The road to get there is not always easy - but it is worth it.My short-term goal is to ensure, through a risk-based and cost-optimized approach, that everyone considers the common path to be the right one and that we can thus keep the Trojan horses away from our borders.

At presentations, I proclaim the message that a security culture is the be-all and end-all in today's world and that a good-sounding harmony of people, organization, and technology must be the goal. I also support the management of medium-sized companies to get on the right path.

Director Cyber Security

• Sep 2019 - Oct 2021

I was finally able to realize my dream: Helping companies develop their own security culture. This means analyzing & determining the level of security, upgrading and empowering them to defend themselves. The last point is especially important to me as a leader. I want to empower and develop people. At EXXETA, I was able to do that not only for my team, but also for our customers, at least as long as security was still a part of the corporate strategy.

This was not only about testing, but also about developing digital solutions. I expanded my customers' parties and trained all future firewall stormers. Because freezing customers are dissatisfied customers. And it is common knowledge that only fire keeps the vermin in the digital jungle away.

Head of Cyber Security Projects & Consultancy DACH

• Oct 2016 - Jun 2018

As it turned out, I was really good at sacrificing Trojan horses. Which means they all just run away as soon as they saw me. This is exactly why I was allowed to defend the Cyber Security Unit for the DACH room here and managed to go from 3 to 55 direct reports in 18 months.

Director Consulting Services Public & Cyber Security

• Jan 2013 - Sep 2016

At CGI I entered the world of digital fortresses for the first time. And quickly realized how many crawlways there are for attackers. That's why I was also entrusted with building and expanding the Public & Cyber Security division. Many projects and 28 employees reporting directly to me were the result.
