“I love innovation & decentralization.”
Christoph builds systems you can trust without having to trust anyone: decentralized infrastructures for applications where it really counts – from military mobility to autonomous drone swarms. As Co-Founder & CTO of AFTS, he turned the 70-year-old paper form NATO/EU Form 302 into digital, cryptographically verifiable customs processing – commissioned by NATO ACT, tested at CWIX, TRL 7 confirmed, live across three national borders by the end of 2025.
Before that: more than 20 years of enterprise IT at Arvato Systems, Logica, CGI and BSI – serving as Blockchain Lead there from 2014, long before the topic went mainstream. Entrepreneur for decentralized services since 2017 (lakoma), co-founder of the Institute for Applied Blockchain and of SecuBlox – selected NATO-wide in 2024 from 2,600 applications. AFTS and SecuBlox are partners of our School today; he drives the EDF consortium for quantum-resilient military mobility (14 partners, 10 countries) together with us.
