Born in Munich in 1962, Michael started his professional career in the early 80s as an operator in the Computing Centre of the “Bayerische Versicherungskammer”, an insurance company in South Germany. After a short period of time he was promoted to the management of the enterprise-wide IT storage management as well as the development and maintenance of system programs in the systems engineering.In 1988 Michael moved to Masstor Systems, an American manufacturer of high performance mass storage solutions, where he took the responsibility for the Southern German market functioning as a system consultant for software and hardware.
As he moved 1991 to Sterling Software, an American company specialized in application and system management software, he switched from being a consultant to sales. He established and developed the Munich Branch Office and accounted for the sales activities in the areas of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Austria and the Switzerland.
In the year 2000 Sterling Software was acquired by the U.S. software giant Computer Associates and this meant both a change of the employer, and also a change of the location. In 2001 Michael moved to Vienna, where he was occupied as the Country Manager of the Austrian organization with the responsibility for Sales (Direct and Indirect), Presales, Services, Education, Marketing, Public Relations and Customer Relations.
The love for Vienna has continued…
From early 2008 on, Michael is running his Vienna-based “wengermayer business consulting” with the two business areas, management consulting and personnel consulting.
