Strategy before technology
For over 20 years I've worked at every level — from writing code, through architecture and DevOps, to advising boards and CIOs of the largest companies in Europe and Asia.
I founded Caterpillar Garden with a simple observation: most organizations spend enormous amounts on IT without understanding the business outcomes. I work with a small number of clients simultaneously, deeply and long-term. My engagement ends when the organization independently makes good technology decisions.
"Putting an F1 helmet on the driver of an old bus is not modernization."
What I do
I help organizations transform from caterpillar to butterfly — as an interim advisor inside the company or through training and workshops.
I join the organization as Interim CTO / Head of Transformation. Working with the team from the inside — assessments, strategy, implementation.
