He's a Reviewer since jdk8, leads the 'ppc-aix-port' and 's390x-port' porting projects and is a member of the 'hotspot', 'build', 'porters', 'vulnerability' and 'members' group. He was the driving force behind SAP's engagement in the OpenJDK project, initiated the SapMachine project, represented SAP in the JCP Executive Committee and served in the Java SE 9-13 Expert Groups.

With his experience to work on both, commercial (SAP JVM) as well as open source versions of the OpenJDK (SapMachine, Amazon Corretto), I think he is an ideal fit for the OpenJDK Governing Board.
