Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStephan Meißl is a Vienna-based CEO and co-founder with 15+ years building geospatial software and services, currently leading EOX and previously serving as its CTO. He combines hands-on C/C++ backend work—evident in contributions to the widely used MapServer project and EOxServer—with strategic roles in standards bodies like the OGC and OSGeo, where he co-chairs coverage-related working groups. His background in technical mathematics and long history in Earth observation projects for ESA and the EC give him deep domain expertise in web coverage, raster processing and open-data interoperability. An outspoken advocate for Free and Open Source Software, he blends engineering, project management and standards advocacy to move open geospatial technologies from specification to production. Unexpectedly for a standards-focused leader, he still finds time for skiing, climbing and occasional Sherlockian pursuits.
