As director and owner of GeoCat, founder of GeoNetwork and board member of OSGeo, I’m obsessed with helping organizing data using free and open source software in a sustainable way.
I started my career at the United Nations supporting Early Warning Systems with satellite imagery and quickly moved to also support the management of geospatial data. Now, 25 years onwards, the software we develop runs at over 85% of national geoportal end points in Europe and is in use at all levels in governments around the world.
