As the founder of Smarter Consulting, Christian works directly with organizations to build structured governance models, strengthen communication systems, and prepare teams for AI-driven change.

Alongside this, through CollabTalk LLC, he has built a global platform for thought leadership, executive coaching, and industry research focused on collaboration trends and enterprise innovation. Christian’s influence extends beyond consulting. He is a prolific author and co-author of multiple books on Microsoft SharePoint and IBM Rational technologies, shaping early conversations around content management and governance.
