Meet the Founder
The person behind Old Forge Technologies
Andrei Trimbitas MSc, Founder
Over two decades in the industry, from managing DHL's internet loyalty platform in Germany to leading the rollout of Kaseya's flagship RMM product across EMEA. Along the way: a stint at Microsoft, membership of the Kaseya Security Council, and trips to New Zealand and Ireland to train support teams that went on to close 40% more cases.
I hold an MSc in Computer Science with a specialisation in Cybersecurity and have published research on decentralised compute for large language models. I speak English, German, and Romanian natively. Old Forge Technologies grew out of the same impulse that's driven my whole career: finding practical ways to make technology actually work for people.
When I'm not building software, I'm a dad to my son () and my daughter (). They're the reason I understand what "can't wait, it needs to work now" really means.
