Research Strategy Director

Being an analyst with KuppingerCole means staying one step ahead. We in the research department dive in deep to the most relevant identity and access management (IAM) and cybersecurity topics, be it the cutting edge technology that is being developed, the most pressing issues on CISOs’ minds, or the ways that markets are shifting. We conduct research to write reports like the Leadership Compass, but also present our findings at events, support advisory projects with the most up-to-date view of the market, and much more! Working with KuppingerCole means working with an engaging team to discuss new technology, new projects, and new ideas.

Kai Boschert

Advisor

When I started at KC, I had a lot of expectations in terms of learning and developing myself in the management advisory field. I grew into a supportive team that provided everything I needed to meet my expectations and got the perfect amount of support and demand. Setting my own priorities and receiving confidence in my performance allowed me to work not only in Advisory, but also in Events and Research, and to compete in the industry.

Marketing and Social Media Manager

Being part of the Marketing team, for me means working alongside people that inspire me and those I can professionally grow with and learn from everyday. As a team, we’re a balanced blend of business oriented, creative, communicative, and fun people. Here, everyone’s individual skills and abilities are valued & we’re able to draw inspiration from each others’ ideas into fruition as a team – something that I find extremely rewarding!

Vanessa Schweihofer

Account Manager

I have been working at KuppingerCole as Client Manager for almost a year now. Our team is responsible for the implementation and delivery of services booked by vendors. What makes it so much fun, besides the interaction to other departments like Research, Advisory, Sales, Events, and Marketing, is the diverse and close collaboration with vendors around the globe. I love working in the Client Management team! It never gets boring, and my colleagues are super nice and we always stand up for each other. The atmosphere at KuppingerCole is characterized by friendly and understanding cooperation. Even though we are sometimes quite scattered, all flexible and in some cases even work 100% remotely, the joy is even greater when we see each other live at parties or events. Either way, the humour is not neglected!
