Autor: Benjamin Bayer Benjamin Bayer ist seit 2007 bei Thomas-Krenn tätig. Dabei hat er sich vor allem auf Virtualisierung spezialisiert. Nach fast acht Jahren im Technischen Support wechselte er im September 2015 in das Produktmanagement um dort seine Erfahrung mit einzubringen. Als Ausgleich zum Büro-Alltag ist Benjamin gerne mit dem Mountainbike unterwegs oder entspannt bei einem guten Buch.
