Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Wirth is a Principal Data Adoption Lead based in Basel with 15+ years of hands-on software, data and digital engineering experience, now focused on driving global data strategy into scalable, governed solutions at Roche. He has progressed from developer and architect to team leader and global product owner, bringing a rare combination of deep technical craft (data platforms, IoT integrations, analytics) and pragmatic program rescue—most notably turning a failing ~$25M data platform into a validated, savings-generating global solution.

His background includes pioneering manufacturing IoT and OEE analytics work and authoring enterprise-level master data and stewardship models, reflecting both systems-thinking and an appetite for tidy, well-governed code and data.
