Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I bring together what is separate in many companies: deep operational understanding of data center infrastructure and the ability to build resilient governance and compliance structures from it.

For over 10 years, I have operated data centers – at Equinix, Interxion, and Salesforce, most recently responsible for 11 MW of critical infrastructure. I know the difference between a governance requirement on paper and what is actually feasible in ongoing operations.

Today, I work in IT Governance at Deutsche Börse Group, working daily at the interface between technical infrastructure, regulatory requirements, and risk management.

What I help with:

• Development and advancement of DC governance frameworks in regulated environments

• TSI-compliant operational readiness and gap analyses

• BSI IT-Grundschutz implementation for critical infrastructures

• IT risk assessment and transparency of infrastructure risks

• Preparation for and support during audits

• Management of subcontractors and DC projects

What sets me apart:

I am not a pure compliance consultant who works through checklists. I have built, operated, and stress-tested the infrastructure myself. That makes the difference when it comes to anchoring requirements operationally rather than just documenting them.

Certifications: DCIE, DCES, DCIS (IDCA), BSI IT-Grundschutz Practitioner, TSI.PROFESSIONAL
