Summary
Marc Wäckerlin is a seasoned software leader and CEO based in Winterthur with 13 years in senior roles and a developer pedigree stretching back to 1983. An ETH Zürich–trained engineer and self-described Unix/Linux guru, he blends deep systems programming (C++/Qt), DevOps, and blockchain/crypto security expertise to design resilient, auditable infrastructure. He has led engineering and CTO functions at Sygnum and SCRYPT and now runs Pacta AG, routinely shipping production systems using Docker Swarm, OpenShift and cloud-native patterns. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he pairs low-level technical fluency with executive decision-making, and his long-term involvement with Unix and open-source tooling gives him a rare ability to bridge legacy systems and modern distributed architectures.
