Co-founder of Camunda

I co-founded Camunda in 2008 as a consulting company focused on business process management (BPM). In 2013, we pivoted toward building an open-source workflow engine—and that shift defined our trajectory. Today, Camunda is the leading process orchestration and automation platform, shaping Agentic Automation to operationalize Agentic AI and bring LLM-powered intelligence into core business processes. Unlike proprietary, closed vendors, we’ve always built Camunda as an open, developer-friendly platform. Now, thousands of organizations worldwide use Camunda to design, automate, and optimize complex processes at scale—staying open, composable, and adaptable in a fast-changing world. Our mission remains the same as on day one: to make process orchestration open, flexible, and powerful for everyone.
