Welcome to Jean-Marc Edder’s personal website
Who I am
A Telecom Engineer, living near Fribourg, Switzerland, I’m married and father of a teen daughter.
Active in networks and cyber security for over 25 years. Multilingual, I have worked as project manager, security manager, consultant, then as a network security engineer at several integrators, before moving to the vendor side as a pre-sales engineer at Blue Coat, Symantec, ColorTokens and Check Point Software. During these years I could develop my skills in planning, realization and operation of network architectures, integration and configuration of cyber security solutions, consulting and technical support, presentation, project management and team management.
Security Engineer at Check Point Software till end of February 2023, I am looking for a new challenge in Western Switzerland (Romandie) in cutting-edge technologies, digital imaging solutions, applied research, sport, or support to disabled people. I stay of course open to any proposal in other fields where I can bring my knowledge and experience.
On the private side
I do like sport, especially judo (5th dan, instructor, active competitor with veterans, and former continental referee), but also tennis, fitness (workout), skiing, and other sports if given the occasion. I am very interested in healthy nutrition and food supplements, especially for athletes, as well as in renewable energies and new technologies. But I’m also very concerned about global warming and the lack of respect of some people for our environment.
