Michael S. Oberlaender is a visionary, global industry leader who has built his reputation with the global tech and security/privacy community over three and a half decades spanning multiple continents. Latest technologies always came easy to him, a Heidelberg graduate in physics, with deep and broad skills and expertise in various computer models, systems, languages, and emerging concepts. He self-funded his study at the elite university by building a full ERP system, among other products and projects. Michael has improved the business value and impact of his employing companies through introducing new technologies and smart solutions. He created and matured a people- and process-focused, and outcome-measured capability methodology that saved his prior employers hundreds of millions. Michael has always been at the forefront of new eras, thinking 10+ years ahead of the curve, protecting companies’ data and information assets long before many others understood the necessity. Michael’s outstanding career at the helm of security at eight global enterprises, and his openness and commitment to sharing his vast knowledge and expertise in his three books and in many vibrant thought leadership articles and quotations in leading magazines, such as the Wall Street Journal, Computerworld, Security Magazine, amongst many others, have earned him the credibility and thrust as an industry leader. While his core strength is strategic vision and program development and execution, he does not shy away from the handling of global crisis, zero-day threats, and other such events; they invigorate him to improve company capability and maturity every day.
