Positioning

Your Fractional CTO

After senior roles at Deutsche Bank (IT Director, cloud transformation) and Google Cloud (Principal Architect, FSI practice), I recently relocated to Vienna and am available for fractional CTO engagements, advisory work, and fixed-scope consulting projects.

My deep expertise spans cloud transformation, enterprise AI, regulatory compliance (DORA/EBA), and building technology functions from scratch — exactly the capabilities scale-ups and financial institutions need but rarely find in a single hire.
