My Name is Chris Hartung, and I am a Technology Strategist at VMware, and I have been in this role since December 2021. My primary focus is on nurturing enduring partnerships with our valued customers and account teams.
My previous experience as a Architect and Product Manager at Volkswagen Financial Services provided me with insights into financial services and digital transformation, where I focused on aligning IT strategies with business objectives.
An engineer by heart, I began my career as a Systems Engineer at Rossmann, which has greatly influenced my approach to problem-solving and innovation.
I am passionate about technology and love helping customers bridge the gap between business and technology, driving strategy through this integration.
In my role, I act as a trusted sparring partner, working together to formulate actionable strategies that drive digital transformations forward. I lead workshops aimed at fostering critical thinking in areas such as business outcomes, multi-cloud strategies, and organizational transformation. Building strategic relationships with executives is central to my work, and I enjoy providing valuable insights and support in developing value cases.
Additionally, I engage in thought leadership to inspire our customers to challenge their current thinking and embrace innovative perspectives on the future of IT.
