Summary

For over 30 years I have been helping international companies untangle, transform, and securely move complex IT infrastructures into modern cloud environments. I specialize in Microsoft-based infrastructures, Identity & Access Management, Cloud Security, and infrastructure architecture – focusing on environments where there is "no easy solution".

My main areas:

Microsoft 365 & Azure: Identity, Security, Compliance
Exchange OnPrem ↔ Cloud migrations (20 to 150,000 mailboxes)
Active Directory, Entra ID, Hybrid Environments
Cloud Security & Conditional Access, MFA, Defender
MDM & Microsoft Intune
Integration of AI technologies (e.g., Copilot, MS Graph + AI, GPT-powered automation)
Project roles from consultant and architect to crisis solver

I work hands-on, strategically, and across technologies. If you are looking for a Senior Consultant who not only knows the tools but understands scenarios – and now expands them with the possibilities of modern AI technologies – then I look forward to challenges.
