Tobias Sattler

About Me

My name is Tobias, and I was born in 1982 in the lovely city of Munich, Germany. Already at a young age, history, natural sciences, and computers interested me. In 1996 my interest in programming ignited, and I implemented and managed smaller hobby projects.

At Siemens, I later learned the basics as a software engineer. With a detour to the German Military from 2004 to 2008 to support the introduction of SAP, I started at united-domains AG in 2008.

Over the years, I have steadily expanded my skills and responsibilities and shifted my focus more towards product management.

In 2011 I joined the Executive Committee, and since 2018 I have been part of the Board of Management, where I head technology and product management. The board consists of two co-founders and myself.

Work is more than just a job for me. I love to empower and support my team to develop great products. Helping our customers to realize their ideas makes me happy.

Apart from that, I am an active member of the domain name industry:

• Member, eco Names & Numbers Steering Committee (since 2017)
• Founder & Editor in Chief, MyNext.Events (since 2017)
• Co-Chair, ICANN Contracted Party House (CPH) TechOps Group (2017 - 2020)
• Vice-Chair / CTO, ICANN Registry Stakeholder Group (RrSG) (2016 - 2020)
• Ambassador, Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) (2018 - 2019)
• Founder & Organizer, Domain-Stammtisch Munich (2016 - 2019)
• Member, Content Advisory Board of NamesCon and CloudFest (2016 - 2018)
• Volunteer, Mozilla Public Suffix List (2014 - 2016)

Furthermore, I am an author of 9 IETF Internet-Drafts and 10+ articles on CircleID, Medium, and Linkedin Pulse.

I am a supporting member of Amnesty International, the German Cancer Aid, Caritas, the German Redcross, WWF, and Unicef.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, walking, and learning.

If you have any questions that I can help with, please feel free to reach out here on LinkedIn or via Twitter. I look forward to speaking with you!
