Earlier this month, I had the privilege of joining the Deep Wealth Podcast to discuss themes that are close to my heart: leadership, entrepreneurship, and the evolving landscape of open-source technology. As President of Univention North America, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges and rewards of steering international teams and fostering digital sovereignty in an interconnected world.
During the interview, we peeled back the layers of what it really means to lead today. Leadership is often portrayed as a glamorous pursuit, but in reality, it’s equal parts courage and vulnerability. I shared stories from my journey, emphasizing how cultivating trust, maintaining transparency, and embracing mentorship have been vital to my growth both as a professional and as a person.
We also dug into what makes entrepreneurship a truly human endeavor. While technology, including AI, has rapidly altered our toolsets and possibilities, it is our purpose and values that remain our guiding stars. Success, as I see it, isn’t merely a financial metric but a reflection of the communities we build and the independence we maintain along the way.
A core tenet running through our conversation was the power of open-source solutions. In a world where data privacy and sovereignty are more important than ever, open standards and collaboration can provide organizations with the flexibility and trust they need to thrive. I’m passionate about helping others realize that embracing open source isn’t just the right thing. It’s a strategic advantage.
