Portrait of Felix Rosbach, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Crossing Waters

I have always wanted to know why something works, not just that it does. Probably 90 percent of what I actually do is get people aligned and pulling in the same direction. The roadmap and the Go-To-Market follow from that.

Why cybersecurity

Felix focuses on cybersecurity because that is where he can tell a technically sound product from one a CISO will actually trust. That trust comes from working together, and it is the reason Crossing Waters brings vendors, investors and security teams to the same table.
