Speaker Bio

I have been working with Db2 for z/OS ever since V1. In my career I have worked as COBOL/IMS/DB2 programmer, IMS/DB2 DBA and DB2 system engineer. I have worked a number of years as a Db2 Lab advocate, supporting IBM customers worldwide.

Before joining Broadcom I worked at SwissRe. Besides my function as their lead mainframe Architect I also managed the Mainframe Capacity team as well as team of Db2 specialists providing education and consultancy to SwissRe development units.

At Broadcom I manage one of the two Client Services Consultants teams in EMEA, focussing on Data Management, DevOps and Security. I am also proud to be an IBM Champion since 2022.

When I am not working I enjoy paragliding and I play drums in a rock band.
