Excellence is not solely about achieving perfection;it's about striving for continuous improvement, learning from failures,and maintaining a growth mindset.

Path of the Wolf
You can plan life, but you should always be ready to stumble into the opportunities it has for you. My entire career was somewhat unplanned. Initially, I wanted to construct airplanes, however, back in the 90s there was not enough demand for that skill here in Austria, so I went for Technical Physics, yet realizing that to me the most fascinating profession out there was with software development. So, after completing studies in Business Administration, I joined Capgemini to contribute to the back then largest IT insurance-development project. I loved it!
… and as a developer, I had to acknowledge quickly, how critical software testing is to the success of software development.
Why not evolve software testing from a boring task into a professional discipline, establishing a new form of test automation, bringing test automation back to business testers rather than software developers?
After years of test consulting and parallel development of my own product Tosca, time was ready to found Tricentis in 2007.
What a ride! A great partnership at the executive level with my co-founder Franz Fuchsberger and CEO Sandeep Johri freed me up to drive the product vision and the education of employees and customers towards the most efficient and effective way of software testing.
After 10 years, Tricentis had made it to being the first Austrian unicorn, nowadays being close to 1,500 people, accounting for more than $300M in revenue and ready to move on without my guidance.
With my company Katharo Ventures, I support young companies’ endeavour of successfully mastering this challenging business world. A good friend and mentor told me once: “It’s the most satisfying thing to see the ones who worked for you and who you worked with grow into leadership roles!” – and I guess what this next chapter in my business career is all about.

Our vision is to empower the future generations of tier-2 and beyond geographies, for attaining excellence in their careers (IT, Business) and life.
