Business reach,
engineering rigor.

Engineer by training and sales professional by choice, I spent a decade at NI (National Instruments) growing from application engineer to group manager before building dataTec's modular measurement division from the ground up. Based in Munich, trilingual (FR, EN, DE), I work at the intersection across both sides: deep enough technically to specify the right solution, experienced enough commercially to build the territory around it.
