Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Runkel is a seasoned CTO and hands-on IT executive with over 30 years of experience designing, building, and operating resilient systems across on-premises and cloud environments. He combines deep networking, virtualization, and DevOps-first instincts with leadership experience running distributed teams and scaling organizations from startups to enterprise. A polyglot developer and early hacker since the ’80s, Marc pairs broad architecture skills with practical coding and deployment know-how. He has led technical operations and product-facing teams through rapid growth, and mentors engineers while still getting “hands dirty” on critical problems. Based in Düsseldorf, he brings a rare blend of operational rigor (24/7 mission-critical support for NYC PSAC) and modern ML/Python curiosity cultivated during a recent sabbatical.
