Adam Such is a Solutions Architect for the DACH region at Sonatype.

His background is in software development and product management, with a diverse range of software development experience, from IoT devices to enterprise IT monitoring. He has also been an Agile/Scrum Product Owner and uses this experience to help companies across the world understand and improve their software supply chain and continuous delivery pipelines.

The Sonatype journey started 10 years ago, just as the concept of “open source” software development was gaining steam. From our humble beginning as core contributors to Apache Maven, to supporting the world’s largest repository of open source components (Central), to distributing the world's most popular repository manager (Nexus), we’ve played a meaningful role in helping the world embrace the power of open innovation. Over time, we witnessed the staggering volume and variety of open source libraries that began flowing into every development environment in the world. We understood that when open source components are properly managed, they provide a tremendous energy for accelerating innovation. Conversely, when unmanaged, open source "gone wild"​ can lead directly to security vulnerabilities, licensing risks, enormous rework, and waste.
