After ten years in the aerospace, satellite, and military sectors, Skenderi focused full-time on founding and leading technology companies and divisions. For six years, he served as CTO and board member of Next Big Thing AG. The venture studio specializes in founding and nurturing emerging tech companies.

Quality and stability are the key factors in production-critical environments

“It determines the success of a production facility whether it is able to cope with constant technological change and fluctuating requirements. For this reason, factories depend on a stable and resilient infrastructure. And that is what I strive for: As the new CTO, I will set a clear focus on stability and quality for the software Connectware, but also for the fast-growing team and for the company,” says Jasmin Skenderi.

The software solution “Cybus Connectware” connects machines and systems of manufacturing companies. The technology makes all production data available in real time via a standardized interface in order to track and optimize production processes. The vendor-independent solution has been specially designed for complex and large setups: With its modular architecture, it promotes an agile and cross-departmental approach in order to implement digital projects in an investment-proof and results-oriented manner. The stronger a production is connected and the more complex the IIoT use cases are, the more critical the requirements for cybersecurity, data sovereignty and highly available data handling become. “Holistic strategic decisions that closely integrate all aspects from product development to customer success are crucial,” adds Skenderi.
