About

I am a bridge-builder between business and and technology to outline a better understanding of the deep interconnection of the two sides. Throughout my life, I had a naturally strong interest in new technologies, its advantages and its shortcomings, which I nurtured through education and practice. My work and research is strongly influenced by my extracurricular activities such as president of the communal orphanage.

Work

My work focuses on Cyber, Innovation and Security projects in both the private and public sector. Such include, among others, the following:

  • Swiss Electronic Patient Record (EPR)
  • Strategic IT department goal composition
  • Crisis playbooks with focus on cyber incidents and contingency planning
  • Technical auditor for IT environments e.g. ISO/IEC 27001 and Public-Key-Infrastructure (PKI)
  • Forensic expertise for a car manufacturer (EnCase, FTK and Relativity)
  • Review and recommendation of critical IT infrastructures
  • Analysis and assessment of silent cyber risks and not explicitly excluded “Kumul” risks
  • Design and conduct of tabletop exercises for IT services/Security Operations Center (SOC)
  • Implementation of information security management system (ISMS) controls according to ISO/IEC 27001
