Sascha Giese

Tech Evangelist

Sascha Giese started his IT career in the early 2000s as a network and system administrator in a public school, where he learned that teaching teachers how to use this thing called the internet is more complicated than resolving spanning tree problems. Joining SolarWinds in 2014 as a Solution Engineer, Sascha Giese quickly became a subject matter expert on all products in the SolarWinds portfolio. He contributed significantly to the SolarWinds Certified Professional® (SCP) exams and training curriculum. As a Tech Evangelist, his mission is clear: to bring the often-overlooked human element of IT teams into focus. As Sascha Giese eloquently puts it, “IT no longer supports the business; IT runs it instead.” His unwavering belief in the transformative power of IT serves as a powerful reminder of the potential and impact of our work in this field. He studied Media Informatics at the University of Lübeck, Germany, and holds industry certifications from various vendors, such as Cisco, Microsoft, VMware, and Amazon.
