IT Security, Governance & Compliance Expert based in Frankfurt am Main – with over 40 years of IT experience and over 30 years in information security, IT audit and data privacy.
With over 40 years of IT experience – since 1983 – and over 30 years in information security (since 1991), I advise organizations in IT governance, risk management, compliance and data privacy. Beyond IT audit and security management, a core focus lies in the adoption of new technologies: from strategic evaluation to the secure implementation of innovative solutions in an enterprise context.
A particular focus lies in the use of Artificial Intelligence in an enterprise context – not as an end in itself, but as a tool that supports and empowers people in their daily work. AI governance, secure AI implementation and responsible human-AI collaboration are central themes. My conviction: IT serves both business and people equally – technology must drive business objectives while supporting people in everything they do.
As a CISSP, CISA, CISM, CGEIT and CDPSE certified expert, I combine deep technical knowledge with strategic governance competence. My certifications with ISACA and (ISC)² demonstrate long-standing, verified expertise at the highest level.

Over 40 years of IT experience – from programming to board level
I am an ultra runner. Distances from 50 km to over 300 km in a single effort are my world. Ultra running is far more than sport to me – it is a confrontation with your own limits, with discipline and mental strength. Every run is a challenge that teaches you to keep going even when everything speaks against it. This mindset shapes not only my training but also my work: endurance, focus and the will to reach every goal.
Beyond that, what fascinates me is the human being itself: What drives people? Why do they do certain things – and not others? These questions motivate me and are the reason I study psychology. Understanding human behavior is the key for me – whether in ultra running, in IT security, or in working with teams and organizations.
