Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteffen Wagner is a seasoned cloud technology leader and Field CTO EMEA with 12 years of experience designing and operating automated, distributed systems across private, bare-metal and public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP). As a co-founder running a managed private-cloud colo in Frankfurt and former head of global platform engineering at Lufthansa Systems, he blends hands-on engineering (Go, Kubernetes, Ceph, Puppet) with executive-level strategic guidance. He helps enterprises transform critical workloads to cloud-native patterns and DevOps ways of working, often acting as a trusted advisor to C-suite stakeholders. Steffen prefers open-source solutions and builds resilient, highly automated platforms that emphasize scalability and operational simplicity. Less obvious: he maintains deep day-to-day operational expertise by running his own production-grade infrastructure alongside customer engagements, keeping technical rigor tightly connected to business outcomes. Based in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main area, he combines startup agility with enterprise-grade security and governance experience.
