Volker Tietz is a seasoned software leader and Co-Founder & CTO based in Frankfurt, combining over 20 years in software engineering with 13 years of focused industry experience in product and engineering leadership. He has a proven track record building teams and organisations from the ground up—scaling engineering headcount, establishing product and security processes, and steering portagon to ISO27001 certification while shipping large, high-quality features. Technically hands-on across backend (Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Elixir), frontend (React, vanilla JS) and cloud infrastructure, he bridges architecture, delivery and stakeholder communication. At XING he helped introduce React company-wide and contributed to realtime systems with Elixir/Phoenix, and more recently he co-founded Dentero to apply his expertise in healthtech. Colleagues describe him as a builder who pairs pragmatic execution with long-term technical strategy, equally comfortable hiring and mentoring as he is diving into code. He holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science and Media from Stuttgart Media University, reflecting a blend of technical depth and product-minded design.
