Hi,

I work as Head of Data & Analytics at A1. I also teach this topic at various universities and frequently speak at various Conferences. In 2010 I wrote a book about Cloud Computing, which is often used at German & Austrian Universities. During my last 12 years of professional experience, I worked at Teradata, IDC and Microsoft with Cloud & Big Data Technologies. In my home country (Austria) I am part of several organisations on Big Data. You can contact me on LinkedIn here
