About Martin
A lifelong engineer.
A wider perspective.
Senior technology leader and advisor, shaped by decades of global banking experience and a lasting interest in how systems work.
“Architecture must remain useful when it meets the realities of implementation.”
Engineering → Architecture → Leadership → Advisory
From engineering to executive technology leadership.
My career began close to software engineering and grew through architecture, product management, programs and portfolios into global technology leadership. Each stage widened my perspective without diminishing my interest in the technology itself.
Today, my focus sits at the intersection of technology strategy, cybersecurity, data protection, architecture and governance, including the security implications of emerging AI systems.
I enjoy understanding difficult problems, challenging assumptions and weighing alternatives. My contribution is to connect the strategic discussion with architectural choices and the practical conditions needed to implement them.
Based in Switzerland, I bring an international perspective developed through work in global financial services. Outside my professional work, I maintain a private technology lab to continue exploring infrastructure, security and new engineering ideas.
Working principles
How I approach the problem.
Understand before acting.
Frame the problem before selecting a tool or committing to a direction.
Make trade-offs explicit.
Useful advice makes alternatives, assumptions and consequences visible.
Keep learning.
Technical curiosity gives leadership a continuing connection to engineering.
