Expert Knowledge for Your Project
Software decisions are business decisions. Patrick helps companies look beyond single projects and manage their software portfolio as a whole, deciding where to invest, what to modernize and what to retire.
Building instaSOLUTION, where he served as partner and CTO from 2015 to 2023, is the project he is most proud of. Getting a start-up off the ground and leading it to a successful sale showed him what it takes to turn software into lasting business value: clear priorities, the right team and the courage to commit.
He relies on the theoretical foundation, systematic engineering approach and intellectual rigor he gained at ETH Zurich. Today, he brings that mindset to high-level management decisions in strategic software development and enterprise portfolio management.
