Hi, I am Gregor — engineering manager and lecturer at the intersection of technology and people.

My approach to leadership is rooted in coaching and authentic self-expression. I believe that psychological safety — the confidence to speak up, take risks, and be yourself — is the foundation of high-performing teams. Creating that kind of environment is what I find most meaningful about managing people.

At Barracuda Networks in Vienna I lead three software engineering teams building network security products, including the SecureEdge SASE service and the CG Firewall platform. I am also involved in our AI developer advocacy, exploring the implications of generative AI in cybersecurity.

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Medical University of Vienna and an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Salzburg. I teach Security Infrastructures with Firewall Technology at Fachhochschule Technikum Wien.

Here you can find more about my academic background.

I am a founding member of the Feigenhain Initiative, a non-profit registered in France with activities in Brazil and Europe, focused on humanitarian aid and environmental protection.

I speak German, English, French, and Portuguese.

My other interests:
