I started my journey with software development processes at Soflab, GmbH in Munich in 1983. Ever since, I've been passionate about ensuring process is a means to an end and not vice versa.

In 35+ years in software engineering (28 managing), coaching and teaching, I’ve had the luck, benefit and honor of working alongside some of the most incredibly brilliant, inspired, competitive, collaborative and productive people in small and large companies in two cultures (experiencing rapid growth before, during and after 3 acquisitions, 2 IPOs, and coaching and competing in national and world championships). Whether leading teams of engineers, managers, players on the field or classrooms of students – mentoring, teaching and coaching have always been an aspect of those responsibilities I have thoroughly enjoyed.
