I'm working for more than 16 years on innovative solutions for the automotive industry. My work as a technical leader for large scale and complex projects has included solution architecture designs as well as full life-cycle projects including specification, development and implementing of solution architectures. In that context I have combined a broad set of products from IBM brands and 3rd party products to innovative and sustainable architectures. I was also active as an expert for manufacturing solutions for the automotive industry. In my current role as the client technical advisor for the Volkswagen Group I'm also responsible for innovation management.
