SECTION_01 // PROBLEM
Why SaaS companies need this

YOU’VE
OUT­GROWN
FOUNDER
IT.

Most SaaS startups hit a wall at 20–80 people. IT becomes a bottleneck — security gaps, messy access, DSGVO drift, and cloud bills nobody owns. But a full-time Head of IT at €80–120K/year is too much for where you are right now.

01
Duct-tape infrastructure
Access not controlled, onboarding takes days, and offboarding leaves gaping holes. Nobody owns it — so nothing gets fixed.
02
DSGVO always “next sprint”
Every quarter it’s soon. Until an audit, a client due diligence, or a data incident forces the issue.
03
Cloud bills with no owner
AWS and Azure grow every month. No one knows what’s running or why. No optimisation, no governance.
04
Full-time hire is premature
€80–120K/year is real money at 20–60 people. You probably don’t need five days a week — yet.
Too big to ignore IT. Too early to hire full-time for it.
That’s the gap Slicetech fills.

SECTION_03 // ABOUT
The person behind Slicetech

SENIOR IT
LEADER­SHIP.
HANDS ON.

Slicetech is run by Abdi Farah — an IT operations and infrastructure specialist with over 13 years of hands-on experience, from building IT environments from the ground up at high-growth startups to leading complex infrastructure programmes at organisations the size of ProSiebenSat.1, one of Europe’s largest media groups.

This isn’t a consultancy that sends junior staff and project managers. You work directly with a senior operator who has been in the engine room — setting up companies, integrating acquisitions, securing cloud environments, and making IT decisions that actually hold up at scale.

Credentials
AWS Certified Solutions Architect
ITIL 4 Foundation
Microsoft Certified — Cloud & Infrastructure
CompTIA A+
BSc Computer Sciences
Support languages
English & German
Enterprise-grade experience
Led IT operations at ProSiebenSat.1, managing the full IT integration of five acquired companies into a single ecosystem — standardising infrastructure, security, and tooling across the combined organisation. Direct partnership with C-level leadership on IT strategy.
Built companies from zero
Set up complete IT environments from scratch at multiple companies — from the first device policy to a functioning security posture, onboarding workflows, cloud architecture, and vendor contracts. Knows exactly what a growing company needs at each stage, and what it doesn’t.
Operator, not advisor
Over €1.2M in annual IT budgets managed. Teams led. Platforms shipped. The difference between Slicetech and a traditional IT consultant is that the work gets done — not just scoped, presented, and handed back as a slide deck.
What this means for you
A senior IT decision-maker embedded in your team one day per week
Someone who has set up IT at startups — and knows what shortcuts cost you later
Enterprise-level thinking applied to startup-sized budgets and timelines
Experience integrating acquired companies — useful if M&A is in your roadmap
Cloud, security, compliance, and tooling handled by one person — not a rotating team
Full support in English and German — no language friction across your team
