After many years in IT and OT, I've learned that the greatest challenges rarely lie in the technology. It's about people - people who want to work together with technologies or with each other, or have to.
Friction arises, and in the worst case: stagnation. This is where I come in - bringing clarity at the interface of technologies, structures and people.
I work calmly, directly and without detours. Openly, honestly and with the aim of creating solutions that move people and organisations forward in equal measure.
The Technologist
I come from the world of technical systems and understand both IT and OT equally. I started in classical IT, as a programmer and IT specialist. Later I moved into automation, working on process visualisations, control systems and complex plant systems.
At the interface between clients, specialist departments and technical teams, I learned to translate requirements into robust solutions. I understand how systems interact and where fault lines emerge - especially between OT and IT.
The Communicator
Over many years I have worked with the most varied people and roles, across all levels. I learned how quickly misunderstandings arise and how decisive clarity in communication can be.
Different expectations, things left unsaid, missing clarity - this is exactly where I engage. I listen, ask questions and get conversations moving again. You get a clear assessment, even when it's uncomfortable, and a reliable partner who stays with it until clarity and momentum return.
The Person
I'm married with three children, and I know from my own life how different perspectives can be - and how important it is to keep talking. My Christian faith gives me orientation and visibly shapes my attitude towards all people.
I love being outdoors, I photograph, and I work with film, field recordings and electronic music. That is my life before and after mediations. It grounds me and helps me stay calm, clear and capable of action even in complex and tense situations.
What others say
Christof maintains an inner calm and projects a quiet strength into the room and onto the people in it. He is a role model in composure and groundedness. I am grateful that we get to share part of this journey through our training together.
Andrea
What I particularly appreciate about Christof is how reliably and attentively he engages with people. He takes time, listens genuinely, and you feel truly heard in his presence. You can take him at his word - when he commits to something, he follows through, no matter what. At the same time, he always meets others with respect and genuine appreciation. You can simply tell that people truly matter to him.
