Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Pöhler is a CIO and seasoned IT leader with 20+ years in digital start- and scale-ups, known for scaling ESL from a 20-person startup to a global unicorn and shifting IT from “run” to “grow and transform.” He builds high-performing, remote global teams and centralized Business Technology functions that deliver automation, standardization and measurable operational efficiencies across Finance, HR, Legal and Operations. Technically grounded in infrastructure and cloud migrations, he led ESL’s lift-and-shift to AWS and implemented enterprise landscapes (SAP S/4HANA, Coupa, Salesforce) while driving M&A integrations. A servant leader and former founder, he combines hands-on systems engineering experience (provisioning, disaster recovery, DevOps) with strategic governance, resulting in sustained team retention and strong eNPS scores. Outside work he’s a tinkerer—building smart-home projects and side software experiments—which informs his practical, product-minded approach to IT.
