CEO / Head of Research

We had to rename SABRE Security to zynamics GmbH due to a trademark dispute with a flight ticket software company. Conceived & led the creation of more products (BinNavi, VxClass, BinCrowd), won (with Ero Carrera) Germany's second largest privately financed research prize for our work on VxClass, ran trainings, grew the company, and helped our products become the product-of-choice in their particular niche.

CEO & Founder

2004 - 2011

Founded the company and grew it (with Ero Carrera as cofounder) from 2004 to a successful acquisition in 2011 through Google. Lots of technical R&D, training of highly specialized customers, but also "classical" CEO - leading & growing a team, dealing with the finances and much more.
