My background spans IT and entrepreneurship. Since April 2026, I’ve brought that experience to my work as an independent digital consultant and external project lead.

My background
I have spent more than 20 years developing and supporting digital products, platforms and mobile applications. I started with an IT apprenticeship, moved into software architecture and project leadership, then co-founded M-Pulso and held management roles in the duftner.digital group.
Along the way, we built solutions for public safety, tourism, digital learning, business communication, regional commerce and knowledge management. Some started as individual client projects. Others grew into platforms or products we continued to develop for years.
That experience shapes how I work. A solution should address a problem people recognise, make business sense, be understood by the people who use it and work reliably once it goes live.
Through PIXNER CONSULTING, I bring that experience to each assignment as an independent consultant who works directly with clients.
Diploma programme in Business & Management for Professionals at MCI, September 2008 to July 2012. I was awarded the degree Mag. (FH). Focus areas included process, logistics and quality management, and information and knowledge management.
Career
I began my apprenticeship at DISoft and continued it at its successor, TouristMobile. Software development, quality assurance, server administration and customer training provided my technical foundation. I passed my apprenticeship examination with distinction on 5 April 2006.
I took responsibility for technical planning, architecture, delivery and operation of complex software and integration projects. These included tourism applications and avalanche information services for the State of Tyrol. After leaving TouristMobile, I continued working on projects as an external service provider through M-Pulso.
I was responsible for management, sales, customer relations, and the company’s commercial and organisational development. We built apps, back-end systems, integrations and digital platforms with our development teams. My focus was on customer requirements, commercial viability and managing delivery.
Alongside my work at M-Pulso, I took responsibility for IT, finance and the management of company holdings across the group. This involved business and product strategy, investment decisions and coordination between companies, business teams and delivery partners.
As an independent digital consultant and external project lead, I support new assignments and selected ongoing projects. My work ranges from clarifying requirements, planning roadmaps and leading workshops to managing partners and supporting implementation.

How I work
I apply these principles to the decisions and day-to-day work that move your project forward.
I start by making sure we understand the problem, the goal and the decisions we need to make.
I make responsibilities, risks and decisions clear so everyone can work towards the same outcome.
From the outset, I look at the effort, benefits, operating requirements, scalability and impact on the organisation.
Executives, business teams and technology partners need a shared understanding to make decisions.
I plan for rollout, adoption, operations and further development early in the project.
