WORK HISTORY
Senior Business Solutions Strategist @Vmware
Munich, DE
As a Technology Strategist, I translate corporate strategy into technical execution, focusing on the adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). During the Broadcom/VMware transition, I helped shape the EMEA strategic framework and led its operational implementation across the DACH region.Financial Strategy And Value Realization:I develop Economic Impact cases and TCO analyses to justify large-scale Private Cloud investments for Global Accounts. By translating technical roadmaps into executive business cases, I focus on long-term sustainability and competitive advantage. I also act as an advisor for customers navigating shifts in licensing, turning difficult discussions into collaborative roadmaps.Execution And Business Velocity:I partner with Account Teams to bridge the gap between technical architecture and the final business case. I lead high-impact Executive Briefing Centers (EBCs) and workshops to align stakeholders and unblock VCF adoption. My goal is to drive internal strategy by building practical value propositions that help teams meet new, lean corporate expectations.Regional Strategic Transformation:I helped shape the post-acquisition EMEA strategic approach and took responsibility for driving that framework across the DACH region. I managed the transition by staying focused on lean operations and honest communication, maintaining customer trust through a period of high complexity.

ABOUT CHRISTOPHER H.
Everything is changing”That was the reality I met head-on during the Broadcom acquisition of VMware. While the industry saw a merger, I was in the trenches helping to build the new EMEA strategic framework. It was a period of intense transition with fewer people, higher expectations, and \"tough-love\" conversations with customers navigating the shift.Steering that boat through the waves gave me a perspective few others have. It taught me how to deliver clarity when things are messy and how to stay focused on what actually creates value for the business.Today, I operate in a \"two-face\" role where I balance two distinct skill sets: Financial Strategy for Proving the Value:I help leadership teams cut through the noise of licensing and structural shifts to find the \"Why.\" My focus is on Value Realization for identifying the specific use cases where a Private Cloud via VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) creates a competitive moat. I don’t just talk about technology, I build the Economic Impact cases that justify the future Execution to make it happen:Strategy is worthless without adoption. I act as the dedicated strategic partner for our account teams to ensure we deliver on our promises. Whether it’s facilitating an Executive Briefing (EBC), running a workshop, or sharpening a value proposition, I am focused on Business Velocity, getting from a complex idea to a working solution without the usual friction.My biggest win? I’ve learned how to drive the strategic adoption and value narrative through a global transformation by staying focused on lean operations and honest communication. I’m here to help you navigate the intersection of business and technology with a clear map and a solid business case.I enjoy connecting with people who are more interested in “how it works” than “how it sounds”. If you\'re looking to drive actual value out of your private cloud investment, let’s talk.
