Hi, I'm Oliver Wehrens.

For over 20 years I shaped Technology & Product in companies ranging from startups to major cooperations. I started my career in software engineering and moved to technology leadership in roles like Head of Architecture, CTO and VP Engineering. I transform technology and shape cultural changes in organizations. I am a proponent of the fact that every change in technology, product and organisation triggers a change in the other areas.

Beyond that, I like to share my expertise and learnings at the Mentoring Club as well as in articles here.

Enjoy
