I moved on to develop global market and business development strategies for open source and security in public sector, still at Sun, and then Oracle. I have been active in lobbying activities, in particular for these companies, around cryptography, DRM, and open standards.I have worked extensively with venture capitalists as a strategic advisor for their due diligence process on IT start-ups, and am member of the boards (advisory or directors) of 3 startups.I co-founded Why Open Computing! a Swiss company focusing on selling sustainable laptops that can be user-serviced and community supported for years on.Strong communicator with fine negotiation skills.
