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.

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.
