I am one of the founders of KuppingerCole, a leading European analyst group focusing on Identity & Access Management (IAM), Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Cloud Security and Mobility. Currently I am heading our company’s US office in Boston.

I was born in 1950 in Washington State, but I have lived in Germany for almost all of my adult life.

Over the years, I have become an experienced public speaker, book author and TV moderator for eBusiness and IT security. My latest book, “Unternehmen 2020″ (“Enterprise 2020″, published in German by Carl Hanser, has become a standard textbook for non-technical managers involved in IT decision-making. As the former editor “Net Investor”, a business magazine, as well as a contributor and columnist for a number of leading European newspapers and magazines, I have a proven track record for objectivity and for critically evaluating the impact of technology on business processes and markets.
