Gisela Lotringer
I’ve been in the IT industry since the ’70s, mainly with IBM, which I joined as a junior staff member in a support group. In those days I worked with different aspects of mainframes, and later moved into Unix, followed by a career as an IT architect. It’s been a very stimulating career.
I work with many different clients, helping them to run their IT departments more effectively and efficiently.
I’m a mother of two and grandmother of two, and enjoy wildlife, cooking and reading.
