I am the co-founder and CEO of bc4all, building WrenchTime, a modern CMMS developed natively inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Building product in the Dynamics ecosystem is what I do. I have spent the last decade focused on CMMS and EAM software for Microsoft Dynamics, as a developer, consultant, product manager and account executive. Later as Managing Director of an international ISV with apps on AppSource and a partner channel of more than 50 resellers across Europe and the US.

Through all of it I have formed strong opinions about how companies should work: trust people, say the true thing early, and strip out the coordination that produces no value. I have run teams across borders long enough to know it holds up.

Today that means building the company of my dream, with my co-founder and CTO Krzysztof Białowąs, Business Central MVP.

I also serve on the board of Sprint365 and advise CoGo IoT. I am based in Aalborg, Denmark.

Cybersecurity has afforded me a front and leading role in transforming organizations as they adopt new technologies. It's been as much about architecture, business cases, up-skilling, and reorganizing as it has been about safeguards, compliance, and governance.

I've navigated organizations through service oriented architecture, mobile computing, cloud computing, and now AI.

It takes more than technical training or even leadership (both important); it also takes making sure that the people who are learning the skills know where they need to be on day 1 of "go live".

Building the operating picture and orienting the organization for it is my role.

Presently I am an Adjunct Professor at the University of Cincinnati and Associate Director of the Ohio Cyber Range Institute.

I didn't come from computer science. I came from design and film school, and I learned to code because the tool I needed didn't exist.
