About me
Hands-on technical depth, strategic calm.
I am a Vienna-based independent IT consultant with over 30 years of professional experience in IT, including senior management, international project management and technical leadership.
My career began in IT system administration and infrastructure management, progressing to leadership positions as IS Manager and Technical Director. I subsequently took responsibility for complex international IT projects and project portfolios at companies such as NextiraOne and TUI Austria – leading teams of up to 30 professionals, managing more than 10 parallel projects and overseeing annual budgets of €2–3 million.
As the owner of SISAtec e.U., I continue to support businesses with IT consulting, infrastructure management and digital solutions. I combine hands-on technical expertise with strategic thinking, strong stakeholder communication and a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach.
How I steer projects
Lessons from the helm & the trail.
Fifteen years of sailing and plenty of off-road kilometres taught me what project work demands too: preparation, adaptability – and a crew that trusts each other.
02
Read the terrain
Off the paved road you adapt fast. Risks spotted early, plans adjusted without drama, momentum kept when conditions change.
03
Bring the crew home
Teams across countries and cultures, aligned and motivated. Clear communication, fair conflict resolution – delivery is a team sport.
Experience
A journey from server room to portfolio.
