Background

About Thomas Havemeister

Born in Thuringia / Germany and grown up in the 80s I've always been in love with "IT" as a kid, as a student, as a professional. I worked in various countries throughout Europe in numerous projects. I have held (senior) consulting and team lead positions in software engineering, enterprise architecture departments, IT governance, pre-sales, professional services and IT-operations in SME's and corporations. With more than 15 years of cross-functional experience at SME and corporate level enterprises, I entirely understand the requirements and interdependencies of complex "human-driven" corporations as well as of small & medium-sized businesses where the good old ‘hands-on’ mentality is much needed and highly appreciated. In addition to profound technical passion and expertise, I am a highly valued business partner not afraid of new domains, new trends and the digital transformation on itself. I have always been a change manager and automation advocate, who was not afraid to go into detail whenever needed. Today my expertise lies in the domain of IT architecture for enterprises and the perceived endless possibilities of the Cloud technology. I very much focus on enabling the business with these technologies whilst ensuring efficiencies through operative excellence. In doing so I worked with people, processes & projects in complex environments with multiple internal, global and external stakeholders, rigid time lines and very limited resources. As a highly experienced IT-professional still with entrepreneurial spirit, result-driven and personally engaged I lead people by example; I empower colleagues, motivate teams and try to exceed expectations.
