Hello, I’m Holger

I connect enterprise AI architecture with practical implementation, and share what I learn along the way.

I’m a Principal Architect at NTT DATA, Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), based in Berlin. My work focuses on agentic AI, intelligent automation, and the Microsoft ecosystem. I help organizations move from promising demonstrations to secure, scalable, well-governed solutions. That means connecting technology choices with business processes, enterprise data, operational ownership, and measurable outcomes.
