Summary

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

My focus 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-supported automation)
  • Project roles from consultant to 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 the scenarios — and can now also think them further with the possibilities of modern AI technologies — then I look forward to new challenges.
