Michael Palmer is a seasoned technology leader and founder with 12 years of hands-on software and product experience, now serving as CTO at nexxtra GmbH while running his own company, palmomedia. He has led engineering teams across startups and agencies—from founding Meine Nanny to heading software development and DevOps teams—bringing a pragmatic blend of CTO-level strategy and day-to-day delivery. His background spans product management, Scrum leadership, GIS-enabled application delivery, and operationalizing DevOps practices, enabling him to translate business needs into reliable, scalable systems. Based in Berlin, he pairs a Medieninformatik degree with entrepreneurial grit and a track record of shepherding early-stage products toward investment readiness. A less obvious strength: he combines deep technical leadership with direct founder experience, making him comfortable both pitching investors and diving into code when needed.
