Get valuable insight into future technologies
Magnus Kalkuhl, entrepreneur, technology researcher and founder of Ionwalk was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and raised in Germany. At the age of ten, he wrote his first computer program on a Commodore 64. Ever since, his passion for playing with new technology and exploring its possibilities never ceased.
With the raise of the Internet, security aspects began to play a bigger role, thus, he researched this field as well, eventually becoming Kaspersky Lab's first German Virus Analyst in 2006. In 2010, he was promoted being the Director of Kaspersky Lab's European Research Analysis Team and – in addition – one year later also the deputy director of “GReAT”, the Global Research And Analysis Team, which was awarded by the magazine “SC” as “Information Security Team of the Year”.
In that same year, Magnus decided to create his own company in order to explore future technologies and ensuring that users stay in control while using them.
While working on new technology as his main focus, he believes that researchers have the responsibility to share their findings also with people outside of the research community.
Magnus Kalkuhl is therefore used to all kinds of audiences, ranging from no- to hi-tech. Over the years he has given presentations and workshops in more than 20 countries. Magnus is also experienced in speaking at high profile events i.e. the official agency of the United Nations. Magnus has held many talks on company related IDC events, usually being voted among the top three speakers afterwards. After a one-year break in 2013, dedicated to company related research, his most recent workshop given was at the Quantified Self Conference Amsterdam 2014.
