Personal Details

Bio

Already at a young I had an entrepreneurial spirit, I ended up in a bank, pension fund and maybe even the worst a municipality in the outskirts of the country. This is where I created projects making the headlines in newspapers and the agenda of boardrooms. Raising millions in euros, dealing with Fortune 500 companies and bureaucracy from city to EU level. It burned me out. I left the golden cage, started on my own, got too little traction with my first business, but discovered something else that brought me right into the boardrooms of billion Euro companies.
